Unscheduled Active Patients are patients that have had a completed visit within the last 18 months, a status of active in your Practice Management Software and DO NOT have a future scheduled appointment.
Unscheduled Opportunity is taking your Unscheduled Active Patients and multiplying these patients by your Average Hygiene Production per Visit. This gives you an indication of the amount of Production available if you were to schedule these patients for a Hygiene Visit.
Est. Annual Opportunity is taking your Unscheduled Active Patients and multiplying these patients by your Average Annual Collections per Active Patient. This gives you an indication as to how much revenue your practice would receive if these patients were actively being seen in your practice.
Rescheduled Patients identifies the number of patients that were added back to your schedule within the period selected.
Rescheduled Production identifies specifically the production that was added to the scheduled using your Fee Scheduled attached to the ADA Procedure Codes associated with the Rescheduled Patients within the period.
Est. Annual Recaptured is taking the Rescheduled Patients and multiplying these patients by your Average Annual Collections per Active Patient. To ensure that you reach or increase this average, it is important to always have a future appointment scheduled for these patients.
