How three orthopedic groups unlocked cost clarity with Q Code and collected 60% of expected patient costs within three days of the estimate.
Accurate patient cost estimates are straightforward to produce one at a time and very hard to produce at scale — across every service line, every payer, and every patient type.
This case study follows three independent orthopedic groups that moved estimation off spreadsheets and onto Q Code. It covers how they standardized estimate generation across self-pay, commercial and government payers, how estimates were delivered digitally ahead of service, and what happened to pre-service collections as a result.
Headline result: 60% of expected patient cost collected within three days of the estimate being issued.
