FAQ
About this calculator questions
- How accurate is this calculator?
- It produces a directional estimate using industry benchmarks and a general assumption that collectible revenue is roughly 55% of gross charges. Your actual opportunity depends on specialty, payer mix, contracted rates and current operations. A free assessment replaces these estimates with documented findings from your own claims data.
- What is a good net collection rate?
- A net collection rate of 96% or higher is considered strong. Below 95% generally indicates that collectible revenue is being lost to denials, underpayments or abandoned accounts rather than to legitimate contractual adjustments.
- Why does reducing days in A/R produce a one-time benefit?
- Reducing days in A/R accelerates when cash arrives rather than increasing total cash collected. Pulling A/R from 45 days to 30 days releases roughly 15 days of collections as working capital once: a real and valuable effect, but not recurring annual revenue.
- What denial recovery rate do you assume?
- The calculator assumes roughly 65% of denials above the benchmark rate are ultimately recoverable through prevention and appeals. Industry data consistently shows the majority of denied claims are recoverable, though a large share are never reworked.
