Why Missouri General orthopedics Practices Are Losing $408k Per Year
In St. Louis, Kansas City, and Columbia, General orthopedics practices are losing 4 surgical slots per month on average — not due to clinical complexity, but to patient no-shows and last-minute cancellations. At $8,500 per case, each missed slot represents significant foregone revenue that could have been recovered with a systematic waitlist response system.
General orthopedic case volume in Missouri is heavily weighted toward fracture and trauma repair, where same-week no-shows create downstream OR chaos. Fracture patients who miss pre-op clearance are among the hardest to re-book within the same surgical window.
The no-show rate for General orthopedics in Missouri — 7.6% — is measured against CaseFlow's 3.1% national average for practices running automated recovery. That 4.5 percentage-point gap represents the structural opportunity for any St. Louis-area practice to recover revenue currently slipping through last-minute cancellations.
