What is billing actually costing you?
Outsourced billing services quote "a small percentage of collections" and hope you never multiply it out. Multiply it out. The results update as you drag, right here on the page.
What your practice or client actually collects per month
Services charge 4 to 10 percent of collections; 5 to 8 is typical
Rough count across all payers
Industry average is about 5 percent (HFMA); many practices run higher
Outsourced billing takes
$3,000/mo
$36,000 per year, every year, scaling with your growth. And the rate is rarely printed until you call.
In-house with our software TEAM PLAN
$149/mo
$34,212 per year stays in the practice compared with outsourcing at your numbers. Your biller keeps the wheel; the scrubber does the grunt work.
Your denial rate is costing
$9,600/yr
Rework alone, at the AMA's $25 average per denied claim. Getting from 8% to the 5% benchmark would free about 14 hours of rework a year.
Honest footnote: if you collect under roughly $15,000 a month and nobody on staff can give billing any time at all, a good outsourcing service can genuinely be the better deal. Above that, the math usually stops cooperating with them. Methodology: outsourcing cost = collections x rate; denial rework = claims x denial rate x $25 (AMA); software price = our published plan pricing, plan suggested by claim volume.
Reading the results
Three numbers everyone quotes, decoded
"Just 6 percent" is a salary
At $50,000 in monthly collections, a 6 percent fee is $36,000 a year, roughly what a part-time in-house biller earns, except the fee grows automatically as you do and never gets better at its job. The percentage model made sense when billing software cost $30,000 up front. It does not anymore.
Denial rates hide in averages
A practice at an 8 percent denial rate with 400 monthly claims eats 32 denials a month. The AMA puts average rework at $25 per claim in staff time, and that ignores the claims nobody ever reworks: the industry writes off more than half of denied claims without a second attempt. Prevention on the front end is worth more than heroics on the back end.
