Is your billing quietly losing you money?
Drag the 5 bars below to match your practice. We’ll estimate how much revenue you may be leaking every year to denials, slow A/R, un-reworked claims, and uncollected patient balances. Your numbers stay on your device.

Where it’s going
Estimate only, for illustration. Figures are modeled from the numbers you enter plus published industry benchmarks (AHIMA, AHA, Experian) — not a guarantee of results or a substitute for a financial review. Nothing you enter is saved or sent anywhere.
Three quiet leaks drain most practices
The stress test isn’t magic — it’s the same math a revenue-cycle analyst runs. Here’s what each slider is really measuring.
Denials you don’t fight
Every claim that isn’t clean the first time has to be reworked — and 35–60% of denials never are. That’s revenue you earned and then wrote off. Higher clean-claim rates and disciplined rework close the gap.
Patient balances that walk
Patient responsibility keeps climbing. When collection depends on paper statements and phone tag, a big share never comes in. Pay-by-text, cards on file, and plans recover most of it.
Money stuck in A/R
The longer a balance ages, the less likely you are to ever see it. Every day above a healthy 35-day A/R raises your bad-debt risk and starves your cash flow.
How we estimate this
See the exact formulas behind your score +
We annualize your monthly charges (×12), then estimate three leaks and add them up. Every figure is a directional estimate, not a promise.
- Denials never reworked = annual charges × (1 − clean-claim rate) × (1 − rework rate). The claims that fail first pass and never get reworked are treated as written off.
- Uncollected patient balances = annual charges × 30% (typical patient-responsibility share) × (1 − your patient collection rate).
- Slow A/R & bad debt = annual charges × 0.05% for every day your A/R sits above a healthy 35 days — a proxy for aging write-offs and carrying cost.
The 0–100 stress score blends how far each metric sits from best-in-class: clean-claim rate (30%), un-reworked denials (25%), patient collection rate (25%), and days in A/R (20%). Benchmarks are drawn from AHIMA, the AHA, and Experian’s published revenue-cycle data. Swap in your real financials with a PracticeSuite consultant for an exact picture.
