Estimate your financial assistance ROI.
Model how AI-driven application processing captures more program funding, reduces charity care write-offs, and cuts the hours your team spends on paperwork.
These reflect your assumptions, not product guarantees. Defaults are reasonable midpoints; adjust to model conservative or aggressive scenarios.
Estimates are illustrative, based on inputs you provide. Actual results will vary.
How we calculate your estimateView methodology
Additional program funding: Calculated from your expected additional approval rate input, applied to the average benefit value per application. Better application completeness and documentation quality enables more approvals from federal, state, and grant-funded programs.
Write-off prevention: Calculated from your expected write-off prevention input. Proactive patient screening and faster benefit determination converts a portion of uncompensated care to funded assistance programs.
Staff efficiency: Calculated from your expected staff time savings input, applied to hours per application. Automated document collection, eligibility verification, and status tracking reduce processing time.
All improvement percentages reflect your expected outcomes with ArceeHQ. Defaults represent reasonable midpoint scenarios; adjust them to model conservative or aggressive assumptions for your organization.
Additional program funding= applications per month × average benefit value × expected additional approval % × 12
Write-offs prevented= monthly charity care write-offs × expected write-off prevention % × 12
Staff savings= applications per month × hours per application × staff hourly rate × expected staff savings % × 12
Total annual benefit = additional funding + write-offs prevented + staff savings

About the calculator.
What does “additional program funding” mean?
This represents incremental approved benefits from external programs (Medicaid, CHIP, state pharmaceutical assistance, hospital charity care funds, and similar) that are captured because AI-assisted processing improves application completeness and documentation quality. Better applications result in higher approval rates and fewer pended or denied submissions. The percentage is your assumption to adjust.
How are write-offs prevented?
Patients who qualify for financial assistance but are not identified quickly enough often leave balances unpaid. ArceeHQ proactively screens patients at registration, flags likely candidates earlier, and accelerates the application process so balances are resolved before they age into bad debt or write-offs. Your expected write-off prevention percentage drives this estimate.
Does this model Medicaid retroactive eligibility?
The calculator uses a blended estimate for all program types. Retroactive Medicaid determinations are included in the “write-offs prevented” category since they convert anticipated write-offs to paid claims. For a model segmented by program type, request the personalized report above.
