The 2026 no-show strategy assessment: Are you reclaiming your revenue?
Most practices underestimate the cost of no-shows. While only 1% report never dealing with them, 19% of those who track it are losing $5,000 or more each month.
Why no-shows make hard days harder (and how to break the burnout cycle)
No-shows leave more than just gaps in your schedule. They create rework, disrupt your team’s flow, and add to daily stress. In fact, 66% of providers report burnout, and those with higher no-show rates are nearly twice as likely to feel it.
One provider cancellation is enough to lose patients
Patient expectations are rising, and tolerance for cancellations is shrinking. Tebra’s latest data shows that 27% of patients would switch practices after just one provider cancellation, up from 21% in 2023.
