How we calculated the ~$132K illustrative production leak

The Costs of Inaction section shows a rounded ~$132K/year figure labeled Annual leakage. That number is not a forecast for your practice—it is simple illustrative arithmetic so visitors can translate missed touches into missed revenue quickly.

The formula

  • ~$5,500 — illustrative production attributed to one new-patient treatment start (fee mixes vary widely by market and modality).
  • 2 — assume slow follow-up causes two missed starts per month.
  • × 12 months — roughly $132,000/year left on the table if that assumption holds ($5,500 × 2 × 12).

Multiply your own average case fee by your own estimate of preventable misses to get a range that fits your books.
