Free Denial Recovery Tracker for Medical Practices | MedTrust Billing

Free medical billing calculators for healthcare providers

Free medical billing calculators. See where you're losing revenue.

Run your denial rate, collection rate, and billing cost numbers below. You'll see exactly what's leaking from your practice's revenue cycle. Most practices stop chasing a denied claim once the appeal takes more staff time than the claim is worth. These calculators show what that habit really costs. When you're done, download our free denial recovery tracker and claim a free audit of your real claims data.

Claim count denial rate

This sits in the typical range for many practices. There's usually still room to recover more before write-off.

This is a quick estimate, not a formal audit. Actual benchmarks vary by specialty, payer mix, and claim type.


Free collection rate calculator

Measure your gross and net collection rate

Enter your monthly charges, adjustments, and payments to see exactly where revenue is leaking. We'll benchmark it against the number that actually matters: net collection rate.

Net collection rate

Below the 96% benchmark, so there's room to recover more of what you're owed.

Gross collection rate has no universal benchmark since it moves with fee schedule and payer mix. Net collection rate is the one to track against 96%+.

Free billing cost calculator

Compare in-house vs. outsourced billing costs

See what it actually costs to run your billing in-house versus handing it to a billing partner. This compares cost only. We don't assume outsourcing changes your collection rate, since no credible study proves that.

Your in-house function costs $177,108 a year. If a billing company charges less than that share of your collections, they're cheaper on cost alone.

Step 1

Check your practice's revenue cycle health

These are four metrics most billing reports already track: denial rate, days in accounts receivable, aging A/R, and net collection rate. We'll benchmark them against typical practice ranges. Then we'll show what your current denial rate is costing you every year.

These benchmarks come from typical medical practice ranges for denial rate, days in A/R, aging accounts receivable, and net collections. This is a general guide, not a formal diagnosis of your practice's revenue cycle.

Step 2

Download your free denial recovery tracker

This is the same claim denial log our medical billing team uses to track every denial. It covers appeal deadline, payer, denial reason code, and status. Nothing expires just because the claim is small.
