Non-responsive pending exam assessment

The Blind Spot Calculator

Most practices don't measure what happens to a pending exam after the first, second, or maybe third follow-up attempt. That's not because the production isn't real — it's because nobody built a stage to see it. Input your own numbers in the calculator below.

Where your exams actually go

Enter your own numbers for the period you want to measure. Only count starts that came from these exams — don't mix in starts that originated from a prior period.

70 × $ = $350,000
Exams with no scheduled follow-up, and no communication. You genuinely don't know if these patients are still interested or already treated somewhere else.

Why this matters: a profitable practice rarely feels this gap, because the exams that create it never show up on a P&L line of their own. This number is your starting point.
