Compare the quoted fee, included work and costs your practice retains. Calculate a monthly estimate using your own proposal.
Synergy quotes medical billing for your specialty, workload and agreed responsibilities. Your monthly cost is the quoted service fee, subject to any agreed minimum, plus separately charged work and vendor costs. Compare the same scope and month in every proposal.
Use a written quote below to calculate the cost. For a collections-based fee, multiply the agreed payment base by the quoted percentage. Per-claim and dedicated-staff arrangements use the agreed claim count or staffing capacity instead. See what Synergy includes before comparing totals.
Enter the terms from any written proposal. No rates are prefilled. These entries stay in this calculator and are not saved or sent to Synergy.
Enter a quoted rate and its monthly workload, then calculate. Unknown charges will stay visible.
This is an estimate from your inputs, not a Synergy quote or a prediction of collections or savings. The total excludes staff time and any costs you have not entered. A lower fee does not establish equivalent service, follow-up or results.
Tell us your specialty, volume and systems and we'll put together a custom quote — plus a free audit so you can see the value first.

Start with a clear handoff plan. You can keep your current EHR; the timing depends on access, the work involved and your current billing arrangements.
Read the switching checklist and see what to confirm in your quote.
Use the same questions for every quote. Provider pricing and inclusions vary; compare written proposals for your practice.
| Compare | Synergy | Ask each provider |
|---|---|---|
| Fee basis | Percentage of insurance and patient payments we help collect; per-FTE and per-claim options are also available. | What is the fee charged on, and which payments count? |
| Eligibility and coding | Included in full RCM at no additional service fee. | Are verification, coding and coding review included in this scope? |
| Claims, denials and A/R | Submission, denial management, appeals and follow-up are part of full RCM. | Who handles rejections, appeals and unpaid balances, and when? |
| Credentialing and enrollment | Included with billing at no additional service fee. | Are there separate provider or payer enrollment fees? |
| Patient statements | Handling is included. The practice pays printing, postage and statement-vendor charges. | Which handling and third-party statement costs are charged? |
| Reporting | Monthly Practice Performance Reports and detailed financial reporting. | Which reports are included, how often, and who reviews them with us? |
| Prior authorizations and referrals | Available as separately priced services; excluded from the discounted billing offer. | Is the requested authorization/referral work included or separately priced? |
| Other practice support | Payer negotiation, payer audit/compliance support, occasional training and other support: scope and fees agreed in the proposal. | Which additional tasks, deliverables and fees are expressly included? |
| Offer terms | The discounted billing offer has no setup fee. It is separate from the billing trial. | What minimums, setup fees, pass-through costs and offer restrictions apply? |
Full-RCM inclusions do not automatically apply to selected-task or practice-support engagements. Confirm your scope and fees in writing. Review the billing arrangement and its terms.
Choose the model that matches your practice. Confirm the included work, fees and applicable billing arrangement in your proposal. The separate 30-day billing trial is not combined with the discounted billing offer.
Best for full RCM
A simple, aligned model: we earn a percentage of the insurance and patient payments we help you collect. When you get paid, we get paid.
Best for dedicated teams
Staff a dedicated, full-time billing resource (or team) for a predictable monthly rate — ideal for high, steady volume.
Best for specific tasks
Pay per claim for defined portions of the billing workflow — a flexible option when you need targeted support.
These are custom-quote billing arrangements. The discounted billing offer is separate from the free trial.
Request a quote for your practice. The discounted billing offer is charged on insurance and patient payments we help collect, with no setup fee. Credentialing is included with billing. Patient-statement handling is included; printing, postage and statement-vendor costs are paid by the practice. Prior authorization and referral coordination are separately priced. Confirm the applicable terms in your proposal.
The billing trial is separate from the discounted billing offer. The trial is not combined with that discounted offer. Your proposal identifies the billing arrangement that applies. Practice-support services have their own agreed scope and fees.
Before comparing two percentages, find out what each one is a percentage of. It is one of the easiest things to get wrong when comparing quotes, and it is not always stated up front.
Synergy's percentage model is charged on the insurance and patient payments we help you collect. Ask any company you are comparing to state theirs in the same terms, in writing.
A percentage only means something relative to scope. Check these responsibilities in each written proposal:
All six services are included in Synergy's revenue cycle management at no additional service fee. For patient statements, the practice pays all printing, postage and statement-vendor charges. Prior authorization and referral coordination are separately priced. Other support services have an agreed scope and fees; do not assume they are included in a billing percentage.
Choose the services you need alongside your billing arrangement or as a defined support engagement. These services are not automatically included in a billing percentage. We confirm responsibilities, deliverables and fees before work begins.
| Service | What it covers | Pricing arrangement |
|---|---|---|
| Prior authorization & referral coordination | Administrative authorization and referral work. | Separately priced; excluded from the discounted billing offer. |
| Payer rate negotiation | Support negotiating payer reimbursement terms. | Scope and fees agreed in your proposal. |
| Payer audit & client compliance support | Support for a defined audit request or compliance need. | Scope and fees agreed in your proposal. |
| Interim billing management | Temporary management or supervision of your existing billing team. | Responsibilities, duration and fees agreed in your proposal. |
| Virtual assistants & front-desk scheduling | Administrative and scheduling support for your practice. | Tasks, working arrangements and fees agreed in your proposal. |
| Medical-records administration | Records organization and administrative document workflows. | Tasks, access arrangements and fees agreed in your proposal. |
| Websites, SEO & social media Google Business Profile setup & management | Website and online-presence services for healthcare practices. | Deliverables, ongoing work and fees agreed in your proposal. |
| Occasional client-staff training | Training for a specific workflow need, arranged case by case. | Topic, timing and any fees confirmed before the session. |

Quotes are rarely presented on the same basis, so normalize them before comparing:
The last step is the easiest one to skip. Billing is not a cost center to be minimized in isolation; a cheaper biller that collects less is more expensive. If you are weighing this against keeping billing in-house, the billing department cost calculator works the same numbers through both options.
Custom billing quotes vary because the work is not the same from one practice to the next. The factors that genuinely move a quote are:
Our published discounted billing offer has its own stated terms. We also quote per-FTE, per-claim and other defined scopes. Your proposal should identify the arrangement and services that apply to your practice.
The three models are not ranked; they suit different situations.
Models can also be combined — a percentage on current claims and a separate arrangement for aged A/R recovery, for example.
Synergy's answers: no long-term billing contract — you can cancel with at least 30 days' notice — billing trial separate from the discounted billing offer, a 98% clean-claim rate on first submission, claims out within 24 hours and denials worked within 48 hours, with a monthly Practice Performance Report. A fuller version of this checklist is in how to choose a medical billing company, and the pricing models themselves are explained in how much medical billing services cost.
Use the rate and fee basis in your written quote: multiply the agreed collections by the quoted percentage, billable claims by the per-claim fee, or agreed staffing capacity by the monthly per-FTE rate. Apply any monthly minimum, then add separately charged work and vendor costs. Keep one-time charges separate. Synergy quotes the rate and scope for your practice; this calculator does not supply a service price.
They are not automatically included. Virtual assistance, records administration, payer rate negotiation, payer audit/compliance support, interim management, website/SEO/social-media services and Google Business Profile support have a scope and fees agreed in your proposal. Occasional staff training is arranged case by case, with any fees confirmed beforehand. Prior authorization and referral coordination are separately priced and excluded from the discounted billing offer.
There is no single rate. What a company quotes depends on your specialty, your monthly volume and average claim value, how much of the revenue cycle they take on, and the condition of your existing A/R. The more useful question is what the percentage is charged on and what it includes: a percentage of collections is charged only on money actually received, while a percentage of charges is charged on what was billed regardless of what came in. Ask for both facts in writing before comparing any two numbers.
It varies by company, and the difference is large, because gross charges are typically well above what payer contracts actually pay. Synergy typically charges a percentage of the insurance and patient payments we help you collect, so on that model, if a claim is never paid we earn nothing on it. Ask any company you are comparing to state in writing which basis they use, and whether patient payments taken at your own front desk are included in it.
Inclusions vary by provider and engagement. Ask whether verification, coding, denial appeals, patient statements and credentialing are included. Check setup, clearinghouse, statement and postage charges, minimums and per-provider fees in the written quote. Synergy includes insurance verification, coding and coding review, denial appeals, provider credentialing, and patient-statement handling in revenue cycle management at no additional service fee. The practice pays all patient-statement printing, postage and statement-vendor charges.
Sometimes, for a narrow scope. Per-claim pricing gives a predictable unit cost and suits a defined piece of the workflow where your own team keeps the follow-up. Confirm what counts as a billable claim and whether denial follow-up is part of the agreed task. For full revenue cycle management, a percentage of collections ties the fee to whether you were actually paid.
No. There is no long-term contract or long-term obligation — you can cancel with at least 30 days' notice. The billing trial is separate from the discounted billing offer. See which billing offer applies and confirm it in your proposal.
