An independent imprint
Practice Owner Press publishes short, practical books on the money and the operations of a practice: one problem per book, every number labelled, every formula printed. Each book has a free companion page with its worksheets and calculators. None of it asks for an email address.
Each book stands alone. Read them in any order.

Tools
The tools run in your browser. They take totals from your reports, never patient names or records, and print each line of the arithmetic so you can check it against the book.
Dental
What your inactive list is worth in its first year back: returners after the baseline, value, outreach cost and net, segment by segment. From Chapter 3 of The Inactive Patient List.
Dental
One month of recall visits through checkout and the overdue band: who comes back, who crosses the inactive line, and the first-year value of a better routine, counted once. From The Overdue Patient List.
Dental
An in-house membership plan's first year against what the same patients paid before: the plan floor, the break-even fee for each kind of patient, the break-even mix, and annual against monthly billing. From The Uninsured Patient List.
Aesthetic
No-shows and late cancels nobody refilled: how many a week, what they cost, and the first-year floor of a confirmation routine and a waitlist, counted only in the months each runs. From The Med Spa No-Show Book.
Aesthetic
Three numbers in, four of the book's leaks out: rebooking, no-shows, dormant patients and membership, each as a conservative range. From The Med Spa Money Map.
The printed book's links go to alchemyinside.com, the author's consulting site, which has the original of this calculator.
How the books work

From a public, primary source, with its year and the date it was read.
Composite
Invented for a composite practice. Plausible, not measured.
Synthetic
Computed from composite inputs by a formula printed in the book.
Assumption
A figure we had to choose. Set in bold so you replace it with your own.
Rules, prices and anything else that goes out of date live on dated web pages, not in print. Read the editorial policy.
