Free consultationAn estimate from your own numbers, not a forecast or a promise. Nothing you type here is sent anywhere.
How it’s worked out, and what it leaves out
- Denied claims a month: claims × denial rate.
- Rework a year: denied claims × the cost to rework one × 12.
- Never recovered a year: denied claims × the share never recovered × the average paid per claim × 12.
- The comparison runs the same sums at the rate you chose to compare with.
- It leaves out the cost of waiting: money that is recovered but arrives weeks late.
- It treats every denied claim as average, and denied claims are often larger than average.
- It knows nothing about your payers or your specialty.
