Why California Pediatric orthopedics Practices Are Losing $246k Per Year

In Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego, Pediatric orthopedics practices are losing 3 surgical slots per month on average — not due to clinical complexity, but to patient no-shows and last-minute cancellations. At $6,840 per case, each missed slot represents significant foregone revenue that could have been recovered with a systematic waitlist response system.

Pediatric orthopedic practices in California report the lowest no-show rates nationally, partly driven by stricter parental scheduling discipline. However, pediatric spine cases — which carry the highest case value — still see elevated cancellation rates around school break periods.

The no-show rate for Pediatric orthopedics in California — 4% — is measured against CaseFlow's 3.1% national average for practices running automated recovery. That 0.9 percentage-point gap represents the structural opportunity for any Los Angeles-area practice to recover revenue currently slipping through last-minute cancellations.
