What is a slice of your year worth?
A slice is the part of a year's production that never gets collected: a claim denied and never refiled, an underpayment nobody caught, a balance that aged past its filing window, treatment that was planned and never booked.
Nobody has published what that share is for dentistry, so it is a number you choose rather than a figure we measured. Put in what your office collects in a year, pick a share, and see the arithmetic. We start you at 10%.
That is the arithmetic on the numbers you entered. Whether any of it is actually slipping out of your practice is the question, and it is one your own data can answer.
The share is yours to set. We are not claiming your practice loses it, or that any practice does. Your dashboard shows what is really open, denied or aging, from your own system.
- ADA Health Policy Institute
Practice income, billings, expenses, staffing and quarterly economic sentiment. The profession's own research arm.
- The CAQH Index
The only source that reports dental administrative transactions separately: what a claim status check costs and how long it takes.
- CMS National Health Expenditure Accounts
Federal spending data with dental services as its own line. Market size only, never a measure of what goes uncollected.
- Your own practice management software
The only place a number about your practice exists. What is open, what is denied, and what is aging, claim by claim.
The only number that describes your practice is the one in your own claims. Connect your practice software and the dashboard shows what is actually open, denied and aging.
