Why Michigan Pediatric orthopedics Practices Are Losing $83k Per Year
In Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Ann Arbor, Pediatric orthopedics practices are losing 1 surgical slots per month on average — not due to clinical complexity, but to patient no-shows and last-minute cancellations. At $6,984 per case, each missed slot represents significant foregone revenue that could have been recovered with a systematic waitlist response system.
Pediatric orthopedic practices in Michigan 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 Michigan — 5.4% — is measured against CaseFlow's 3.1% national average for practices running automated recovery. That 2.3 percentage-point gap represents the structural opportunity for any Detroit-area practice to recover revenue currently slipping through last-minute cancellations.
