Impact calculator

Unbilled implants and wasted supplies, in your numbers.

Enter what your rooms do today and what you believe slips through. The page does the arithmetic in front of you and shows its work. The studies it leans on are linked; everything else is yours. Nothing here is a benchmark.

What that adds up to

$3.3 million a year, by your numbers

  • $720,000implants used and never charged
  • $2,600,000supplies opened and thrown away
  • 180cases a year with an implant nobody charged

20,000 cases a year, 30% with an implant: 6,000 implant cases. If 3% of those leave the room with the implant used and never charged, that is 180 cases at $4,000 each: $720,000 a year.

20,000 cases with $1,000 of disposables opened each is $20,000,000 a year. If 13% is opened and never used, $2,600,000 a year goes in the bin.

Together, $3,320,000 a year. A capture study counts both in your rooms, case by case, instead of assuming them.
