Revenue Cycle
Cost Calculator
See two numbers that decide the case for outsourcing your billing: how much you cut billing cost with a dedicated remote medical biller, and how much revenue you recover by bringing your denial rate down.
Quick Answer
A dedicated remote medical biller through Zedtreeo starts at $7/hour — typically 70–90% less than an in-house US biller and often less than a percentage-of-collections billing service. The bigger win is usually denial recovery: cutting a 10% denial rate toward a 5% benchmark turns written-off claims back into collected revenue. This calculator shows both, plus the total annual impact.

Recovery is modeled against a 5% benchmark.
Based on Zedtreeo's actual pricing. Remote medical billers from $7/hour. HIPAA-aware workflows.
These figures are estimates for planning only. Your actual rate depends on role, scope, seniority, and engagement; market comparisons use representative benchmarks, not live quotes. Not financial or medical-billing advice — and no patient data (PHI) is collected here.

How This Model Works
Transparent methodology grounded in real rates.
Staffing Cost
Remote billers are priced at Zedtreeo's actual rate ($7/hour full-time) and sized by claim volume. In-house billers are benchmarked at the same base rate scaled to your local market; billing services are modeled as a percentage of collections.
Denial Recovery
Recovery = monthly claims × reimbursement × (current denial rate − 5% benchmark) × 12. It estimates the revenue currently written off that a dedicated denial-management workflow can recover.
Total Annual Impact
We add annual billing-cost savings to the denial-recovery upside for a single total. Estimates are conservative and exclude faster cash flow and lower days-in-AR.
Medical Billing Cost FAQs
Understanding remote billing economics.
A dedicated remote medical biller through Zedtreeo starts at $7/hour full-time — typically 70–90% less than a fully-loaded in-house US biller, and often less than a percentage-of-collections billing service depending on your claim volume.
It estimates the revenue you currently write off to denials and how much of it a dedicated denial-management workflow can recover: monthly claims × average reimbursement × (your denial rate minus a 5% benchmark) × 12 months.
Both. Choose your current model: enter how many in-house billers you have (benchmarked to your local market), or the percentage a billing service charges on collections. The calculator compares whichever you pick against a remote biller.
The calculator collects no patient data (no PHI) — only aggregate counts and rates. Zedtreeo's remote billing staff work under HIPAA-aware processes, NDAs, and ISO 27001:2022 certified information-security controls.
