How Much Are Missed Calls Costing Your Practice?

Quick answer

How much are missed calls costing my practice?

This calculator estimates the revenue your practice loses to missed calls based on your own numbers. Enter your missed calls per week, the percentage of callers who would have booked, and the average value of a new patient. It calculates the revenue missed per month and per year. It is an estimate, not a guarantee, based on the figures you provide.

How Missed Calls Add Up

Every missed call is a potential patient who reached out at the exact moment they were ready to book. When no one answers, most of them call the next clinic on the list. The revenue from those lost bookings adds up fast, often far faster than practice owners expect. A few missed calls a week can mean thousands of dollars a month in appointments that never happened.

The calculator below helps you see what that looks like for your practice. It uses three simple inputs: how many calls you miss per week, what percentage of those callers would have booked an appointment, and the average value of a new patient for your practice. The result is an estimate of the revenue slipping away every month and every year.

This is an estimate based on your own numbers, not a guarantee. The point is to make the cost of missed calls concrete so you can decide whether an automated missed-call text-back is worth it. For most holistic practices, the answer is clear the moment they see the yearly total.
