🚨 $150 BILLION.
That's how much U.S. healthcare loses to patient no-shows every year — and the #1 controllable cause isn't forgotten reminders or cancellation fees.
It's transportation. 🚐
If you manage a dialysis center, skilled nursing facility, outpatient clinic, or hospital discharge desk in Chesapeake, Norfolk, or Virginia Beach — every no-show is a $200+ hole in your monthly P&L. And patients who can't drive themselves (dialysis, post-op, seniors, anyone with limited mobility) are the ones driving your no-show rate the highest.
The good news? It's the most fixable problem in your operation.
