Referral coordination is a hidden cost center
PE-backed clinic groups face pressure to take cost out while maintaining quality. Acquired practices bring fragmented workflows, inconsistent processes, and bloated admin teams. You need scalable cost reduction that doesn't require replacing EHRs or disrupting providers.
10-15 FTEs per 50,000 referrals annually
Each costing $50K+ fully loaded
Acquired practices bring fragmented workflows
Inconsistent processes across portfolio
Bloated admin teams you can't easily reduce
EHR replacement is too disruptive
No visibility into coordination costs across portfolio
Hidden opex eating into EBITDA
The Opportunity
If 10 people are doing referral coordination today and after automation only 2 need to do it, that's an 8 FTE reduction. At $50K per FTE, that's $400K in annual cost take-out.
