Both options start from the same expected revenue. Each option collects a share of the insurance revenue (its net collection rate) and pays its own billing cost. Patient revenue is treated as collected in full under both, so it does not change the difference.
Why the chart is a straight line
The advantage starts at the monthly biller cost, because full service removes it at any practice size. Each extra visit then adds or subtracts a fixed amount: the claim cost saved, plus the insurance revenue per visit × (service NCR × (1 − fee) − your NCR). When that amount is negative, a percentage fee grows faster than a fixed salary, and in-house wins above the crossover.
What this does not price
- Hiring, cover for vacations and sick days, and turnover.
- Capacity. The model assumes one biller at a fixed salary for every volume shown. A larger practice may need a second biller.
- Timing. A higher NCR also changes when money arrives; this compares monthly totals only.
- Software. Both options run on the same ClinicMind platform.
- Insurance visits are estimated from the insurance share of revenue. If cash and insurance visits are priced differently, the claim count will differ.

Billing calculator FAQs
The share of contractually owed insurance revenue that is actually collected after payer adjustments. A practice owed $10,000 that collects $9,000 has a 90% net collection rate.
A biller’s salary is fixed, while a full-service fee is a percentage of collections. At low volume, removing the salary dominates. At high volume, the fee grows with every visit, so the service has to collect enough more to cover it. The chart shows where, if anywhere, that crossover falls for your inputs.
They match the ClinicMind performance model used in our RCM Billing Service Calculator. Replace them with the terms and results of any service you are evaluating.
That calculator starts from monthly payer revenue and a loaded staff cost. This one starts from visits, adds per-claim costs and your patient-pay share, and shows how the answer changes with practice size.
