Dental billing ROI calculator
Put in your collections, your locations and how billing is staffed today. The calculator returns a range for cash recovered, staff hours back and days to get paid, per location and for the group.
- Every figure is a range A conservative and an optimistic end, never an average.
- Cash and hours are kept apart Cash came in and would not have. Hours are money only if you remove or redeploy them.
- Built from your practice Locations, collections, PMS and who does your billing all move the result.
What ScoutIQ is worth to your practice
Every figure is a range, because the rates behind it have a conservative and an optimistic end.
Your practice
The model measures against a 98% benchmark.
Patient balances age; insurance pays or denies. A patient-heavy practice is worth more per dollar.

Old balances, worked onceOne-time
$6,000 to $15,000
Balances already past 90 days on the day you start, recovered on auto-pilot. It happens once as the backlog clears and is not in any figure above.
You get paid faster, and it holdsPermanent
40 → 30 to 34 days
Days to get paid come down once and stay down, releasing $60K to $100K of working capital into your bank. That is cash you would have collected anyway, arriving 6 to 10 days sooner, so what it is worth each year is the financing cost you avoid on a permanently smaller balance: $4,800 to $12,000.
