Access Platform

Estimate what manual charting costs your practice

Enter six inputs and see a directional estimate of what your practice spends on documentation overhead — and what Rebrief returns.

Manual charting costs dental practices in three distinct ways: hours that clinicians spend on documentation after the patient has left, revenue that disappears when claims are denied for incomplete chart notes, and case acceptance that stalls when patients leave without a clear summary of their treatment plan. These costs are real, but most practices have never seen them quantified together. This calculator estimates all three. Enter your provider count, weekly documentation load, monthly claim volume, and average procedure revenue to see a directional annual projection.

Projections draw on outcomes measured across practices running Rebrief’s autonomous charting platform — from academic programs at McGill, NUS, and UCSF to private group practices on Dentrix, Curve Dental, and Open Dental. These are starting estimates, not a quote. They exist to make the conversation about documentation overhead specific to your practice.

Manual charting overhead: what practices actually recover

The figures above reflect what changes when documentation moves from a manual, after-hours reconstruction task to an agent-handled workflow integrated with your EHR. Across Rebrief’s customer base — academic programs and group practices alike — recoveries concentrate in five consistent areas.

  • Documentation time. AmbientVision™ captures the clinical encounter in real time, structuring notes during the appointment rather than from memory afterward. Clinicians recover 40 or more hours per month without changing how they practice.
  • Denial defense. Industry data consistently shows that the majority of claim denials are administrative — missing documentation, incomplete narratives. PracticeShield™ audits chart notes against payer requirements before submission, catching deficiencies before they become denials.
  • Pre-visit efficiency. SmartStart™ surfaces outstanding treatment items, patient history, and payer requirements before the appointment begins, reducing in-operatory documentation burden from the first entry.
  • Case acceptance. AfterCare™ generates patient-facing visit summaries that reinforce treatment plan decisions after the appointment, supporting acceptance of multi-appointment care.
  • Audit readiness. Consistent, structured notes reduce rework during payer audits and support clinical justification for procedures that require documented narratives.

average yearly ROI

These anchor figures represent what a multi-provider practice recovers in a full year of Rebrief adoption. Results scale with practice size, claim volume, and provider count.

Estimates are directional and depend on practice mix, documentation baseline, and adoption rate. Individual results will vary based on EHR configuration, provider onboarding, and monthly claim volume.
