The True Cost of Having a Virtual Medical Scribe

Expense Vs. Revenue

 The math is simple

• A physician spends 5-10 minutes on the EMR after a visit, which culminates into 2 to 3 hours of charting per day.
• With real-time documentation, a remote medical scribe saves these precious hours, which a healthcare provider can use to see at least three more patients with ease.
• Considering average billing for a patient at a modest $250, your facility generates an extra $750 in a day per physician.
• Whether you hire a scribe on an hourly basis or monthly salary, your virtual medical scribe will not cost you more than $300 a day, gaining $450 per provider per day.
• Again, taking a modest approach, imagine six clinicians from your facility keep a remote scribe each. In this scenario, the healthcare facility would generate $2700 of extra revenue in a day.
• In short, an individual physician can see up to 15 to 25% more patients in a day, directly contributing an additional $125,000-$200,000 in revenue per year.

Accurate, high-quality medical charts by virtual medical scribes help optimize billing and ensure faster insurance approval, thus enhancing reimbursements & boosting healthcare revenue by up to 40%.
