On the numbers. Default values in every calculator are illustrative examples for demonstration — not validated reimbursement rates, costs or industry benchmarks. We do not publish figures we have not licensed and verified. Replace each field with your own practice’s data.

Three places practice money is made or lost

Economics

What a case contributes after direct cost, why revenue per provider hides more than it reveals, and how site of service changes the arithmetic.

Operations

Where clinical capacity is created or lost: staffing built from the session, schedule metrics that can fail, and APP roles designed rather than improvised.

RCM

The coding clusters that recur in urology, denial reports read as diagnostics rather than worklists, and the leakage that never reaches a report.

Starting an independent urology practice: the first eighteen months

Most start-up plans get the clinical model right and the cash-flow model wrong. A sequenced view of credentialing, capital, capacity and the revenue gap you have to survive.

  • Credentialing and payer enrollment — not build-out — usually determine your first collection date. Start them before you sign a lease.
  • Model the revenue gap explicitly: the months between your first patient and your first steady deposits are a financing question, not an optimism question.

Why you can use this

We would rather leave a number out than invent one

Physician-facing business content has a credibility problem, largely because so much of it is marketing with a citation glued on. Three of the rules this site is written under:

No invented figures
No reimbursement rates, margins, drug or equipment costs, denial rates or benchmarks are fabricated anywhere on this site.
Methodology in the open
Every tool publishes how it calculates — and what it deliberately does not account for.
Empty until verified
Benchmark tables ship with the metrics and definitions but no values, until we have licensed, sourced data.

Who publishes this

GrowUrology is published by Persistex.

Persistex is a Massachusetts-based medical billing, coding and revenue cycle management firm working with independent practices across New England and nationwide. It funds this resource because practices that understand their own economics make better partners.

That relationship is deliberately visible rather than hidden. Nothing here is gated, no article is written to make a service look necessary, and no tool requires an email to return a result. If the site is only useful when it is selling something, it has failed at the thing it was built to do.
