See What Your Denial Write-Offs Actually Cost
Most practices write off the majority of their denials because nobody has time to work them. Move the sliders and watch the leak, then see what DenialZero recovers after fees.

That is $167,140 a year, after DenialZero fees, from denials you write off today.
Estimate only, on your inputs. Actual recovery depends on payer mix, claim age, and documentation. You verify every dollar against your own remittance data.
How this is calculated+
Denials a month = providers x claims per provider x denial rate. At your inputs that is 165 denials, of which 99 go unworked today.
Recovery rate on a worked denial is held at a conservative 60%. Reported overturn rates on appealed denials run higher, so the real number tends to beat this.
DenialZero fee blends the three published tiers ($6 simple, $12 standard, $25 complex) at a typical case mix to about $9.31 per resolved denial. You are billed per resolution, never on denials in progress.
The headline net counts only the pile you abandon today, so denials your team already works are pure upside (staff hours freed, not double counted here).
The Leak Is the Denials Nobody Works
The first-pass denial rate is not the problem. The problem is what happens after.
A double-digit first-pass denial rate is now normal across specialties, and it has been climbing year over year.
Not because they are unwinnable. Because a worked appeal takes staff time the front office does not have, so the case quietly ages out.
The money is recoverable. It is sitting in the pile your team never reaches, which is exactly the pile this calculator prices.
DenialZero works every denial, including the small-dollar ones a percentage model ignores, at a flat fee per resolution. The calculator above shows that math on your own volume.
Questions About the Math
How does the denial ROI calculator work?+
It takes five inputs about your practice (providers, claims per provider, average claim value, denial rate, and the share of denials you rework today) and estimates the dollars you write off, what DenialZero would recover at a conservative recovery rate, and the per-resolution fees to capture it. The net gain is recovered dollars minus fees on the denials you abandon today.
What recovery rate does it assume?+
A conservative 60% on any denial that actually gets worked. Reported overturn rates on appealed denials commonly run higher, so the real result tends to beat the estimate rather than fall short of it.
How is the DenialZero fee figured in?+
DenialZero bills a flat fee per resolved denial in three tiers: $6 simple, $12 standard, $25 complex. The calculator blends those at a typical case mix to about $9.31 per resolution. You are only billed when a denial is resolved, never while it sits in progress.
Why does it only count the denials I abandon today?+
To keep the number honest. The headline net is built only on the pile that currently goes unworked and gets written off. The denials your team already reworks become pure upside, freeing staff hours that the estimate does not try to price in.
Will my real numbers match the estimate?+
Treat it as a directional model, not a quote. Actual recovery depends on your payer mix, how aged the denials are, and documentation quality. Every recovered dollar posts against the specific claim, so you reconcile results on your own remittance data instead of taking a marketing figure on faith.
