Do you know how much money is your practice losing from patients who don’t show up for their appointments? Consider this: Nationally, no-show rates average about 15%. If an average practice schedules 50 patients per day at a cost of $80 per visit and 15 % are no-shows, the practice loses approximately $600 per day in revenue. That’s $12,000 per month! Undoubtedly the best way to lower those no-shows is using appointment confirmations, which remind patients of their appointments and give them chance to cancel right over the phone, so you can schedule somebody else on their place.
