Medical Practice Capacity Calculator
How many patients a practice can carry, and the revenue that capacity supports.
Result
Practice administration arithmetic, not clinical or billing advice. Payer contracts, coding rules and the regulations governing patient communication and cancellation policies all vary and change. Nothing here bears on clinical decisions or on how any individual patient should be cared for. Panel size depends heavily on the patient population: a practice with many complex or elderly patients supports a far smaller panel per provider than one with a young healthy population, because visits per patient per year differ by a factor of three or more.

About this calculator
What is a typical panel size?
It varies enormously with patient complexity and care model, which is why this asks for visits per patient per year rather than quoting a figure. Your own historical visit rate is the input that matters.
Should capacity be run at 100%?
No. A schedule with no slack cannot absorb an urgent case, a late arrival or a complex consultation, and the result is delay that compounds through the day.
The formula
annual visits = providers x visits per day x clinic days x utilisation; panel = visits / visits per patient per year
