How to read this

Use this calculator as a planning tool, not a forecast or guarantee. The estimate depends entirely on the figures you enter, such as production, collections, adjustments, claim volume, denial rate, and aging AR.

For a more accurate 2026 revenue-cycle review, compare the result with your practice reports: insurance aging by bucket, open claims, denial reasons, unpaid patient balances, payment posting lag, and write-off trends.

Check the inputs first: Small errors in collection rate, denial rate, or AR over 90 days can change the estimate quickly.
Separate insurance and patient AR: They need different follow-up workflows, scripts, and timelines.
Look for preventable leakage: Common drivers include missed verification details, incomplete attachments, coding mismatches, untimely appeals, and slow payment posting.
Do not treat this as legal, coding, or payer-policy advice: CDT, CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-10-CM use should be verified against the current manuals and each payer’s policy.

A free Dental Billing Community billing assessment replaces assumptions with your real data. Our team reviews the same operational areas this calculator points to—verification, clean claim submission, AR follow-up, denial management, payment posting, patient statements, credentialing, CDT coding, and dental-to-medical billing—then identifies practical next steps.
