ROI Snapshot

Consider a practice that generates $1M in patient portion bills annually with a 50% average capture rate.

This practice pays 6% to a full service billing company to identify, process and collect patient responsible fees. Additional cost is incurred for postage and one internal support staff.

There is a high working capital cost of carrying patient balances since it takes an average of 60 days to receive payment (billing companies send statements after adjudication).

In this case, the total cost to manage patient revenue is 14%, and only 50 cents of each dollar billed was actually collected - the average circumstance.

Further, these figures don't take into consideration upfront payment discounts, which range from 10-15%.

The same practice partnered with CareBlue is able to realize:

  * $300K more revenue collected
  * $37K decrease in capture costs
  * $88K working capital reduction

Use the ROI Calculator above to analyze your practice's current patient billing solution.
Use the sliders to adjust calculator values. In some cases, billing and payment processing is outsourced for a fee, leaving a smaller effort on the practice itself. In other cases, patient billing is handled by internal office staff, and processing fees are reduced to just a credit card terminal costs.
