Estimate, not a quote

What is the manual version costing you a year?

Three inputs about your volume, three numbers back. Every assumption behind the math is visible and adjustable, because a calculator with hidden multipliers is marketing rather than arithmetic.

Your Numbers

Claims or cases per month {{ claimsLabel }}

Total volume flowing through the workflow you are considering.

Current denial rate {{ denialLabel }}

A rough figure is fine. Most laboratories we see sit between 6% and 18%.

Loaded cost per staff year {{ costLabel }}

Salary plus benefits, taxes and overhead, not base salary.

The assumptions, in the open

These are our defaults from eight years of engagements. If they do not match your reality, change them and the numbers move.

Minutes of admin per clean claim {{ cleanMinsLabel }}

Minutes of rework per denial {{ reworkMinsLabel }}

Share of those hours automatable {{ automatableLabel }}

We default to 55%. Anyone quoting you 90% is selling something.

What That Implies

Hours recovered per week

Out of {{ totalHoursPerWeek }} hours a week the workflow currently consumes.

Full-time equivalents freed

Usually spent absorbing growth rather than reducing headcount.

Annual cost of the manual version

The recoverable portion of what this workflow costs you in staff time each year.

What this number is not

It is staff time only. It excludes the two effects that usually matter more to finance: revenue recovered from denials that currently become write-offs, and cash pulled forward by faster turnaround.

It also excludes our fee and the maintenance a program like this needs. Those come from a conversation, once we know what we are actually looking at.

The numbers above are yours already. Nothing is gated. If it would help to have the assumptions spelled out in something you can forward, we will send that version.

How The Math Works

Four steps, all of them arithmetic. No proprietary model, no industry multiplier you cannot check.

Split the volume

Your denial rate divides monthly volume into claims that go through clean and claims that come back.

Attach minutes to each

Clean claims carry routine admin. Denials carry rework, which is where the disproportionate time sits.

Apply the automatable share

Only part of that time can be automated. Judgment, clinical review and payor conversations stay with people.

Convert to cost

Recovered hours divided by a 1,800-hour staff year, multiplied by your loaded cost per person.

The number that comes out is an order of magnitude, not a forecast. Its job is to tell you whether this is worth thirty minutes of your time, and if the answer is no, that is a useful thing to have learned in five minutes. The readiness check is the better next step if you want a qualitative read instead.

Where this sits

Step One Of Four

This is the first rung of one path, not a separate offer. It asks nothing of you but your own numbers. Each step after it gets more specific, and none of them obligates the next.
