* Modeling assumptions draw from Tebra's State of No-Shows & Cancellations 2026 survey (n=473 providers), validated directionally against MGMA wRVU benchmarks; actual results will vary. Revenue at risk reflects your patient volume, appointment value, and no-show count. Recoverable revenue estimates apply bucket midpoint distributions and do not account for specialty, market, or other practice factors.

What no-shows are costing your practice

At your volume, you're losing an estimated $XX/month to$XX/year. That's XX% of your schedule generating no income. 1 in 5 practices lose $5,000 or more every month.

What a consistent no-show policy could recover

Practices that charge a cancellation fee are more likely to have fewer than 10 no-shows per month. At your volume, that difference is worth an estimated $XX/month, or $XX.

What $XX could do for your practice instead

That's $XX/year you could reinvest into your practice, whether that’s hiring staff, upgrading tools, or expanding services. It’s revenue you’ve already earned. You don’t have to keep losing it.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Missed appointments typically represent $150–$300 in lost revenue per visit, depending on specialty and visit type. Across a full schedule, this often translates into thousands of dollars in monthly loss and significant annual impact. Because most practices don’t calculate this directly, the true cost is often underestimated.
Most medical practices see no-show rates between 5% and 30%, depending on specialty, patient population, and reminder workflows. Even at the lower end, that percentage represents a meaningful share of scheduled revenue—making small improvements financially significant.
No-shows are common, but they are not purely unavoidable. Many practices treat them as a fixed cost because the financial impact is not clearly measured. When quantified, the revenue loss is often substantial enough to justify changes to scheduling workflows, reminders, and policy enforcement.
No-show reduction is often treated as a front desk responsibility rather than a system-level issue. Manual reminder processes, inconsistent policies, and limited patient self-service create gaps that are difficult to manage at scale. Without standardized workflows, results tend to be inconsistent and difficult to sustain.
Sustainable no-show reduction requires a coordinated approach across the full appointment workflow. This typically includes clear expectations at booking, automated reminders, easy options for patients to confirm or reschedule, and consistent policy enforcement. Practices that implement these elements as a system—not isolated tactics—see more predictable results. See 10 ways to reduce no-show rates and cancellations.
