Million-Dollar Practice Formula Tracker
What would it take for your practice to collect $1 million per doctor per year? This worksheet helps you put numbers behind that question and identify one practical change to test.
Set aside 10–15 minutes.
You’ll need an estimate of your patient visits per day, days worked per week, working weeks per year, annual collections, and average collections per visit.
How to use it
- Complete your practice snapshot. Use numbers for one doctor if you want to explore the $1 million per doctor goal.
- Review the revenue scenarios. See what an additional $25, $50, or $100 collected per visit would mean at the same visit volume.
- Look for opportunities. Note where treatment explanations, patient decisions, or staff handoffs could be more consistent.
- Choose one next step. Write down a change you can test in your practice.

Million-Dollar Practice Scorecard
See your distance from $1 million, compare patient volume scenarios, and find a sensible first step for your schedule.
Enter your numbers
Use one doctor's numbers for a per-doctor scorecard. Annual collections means money collected, not charges billed.
What could patient volume look like?
25 visits per day is a planning reference, not a target that fits every doctor. The +5, +10, and +15 rows show possible added visits from your current daily average. They assume the same schedule and collections per added visit.
| Scenario | Visits / day | Visits / year | Projected annual collections | Distance from $1M |
|---|
The projections add collections from extra visits to your actual annual collections. They do not estimate profit, extra staffing costs, or whether those visits can be booked.
At 25 visits a day: make each visit count
Once your schedule is consistently full, compare what a higher average collection per visit could mean. Use appropriate care and efficient follow-through; the goal is not to add unnecessary services.
| Scenario | Average collected / visit | Visits / day | Annual collections | Distance from $1M |
|---|
These are gross collection scenarios, not profit projections. An extra $25 per visit means a higher annual average from appropriate treatment mix, patient education, and completed care, not a charge added to every appointment.
The 25-visit reference and your appointment answer guide this suggestion. Case complexity, staffing, room access, and visit length may change your actual capacity.

What do your results mean?
The tracker shows two things: your estimated gap to $1 million in annual collections, and how much your annual collections could change if your average collections per visit increased while your visit volume stayed the same.
A large gap? Look at both sides of the formula: the number of patients you see and the value of the care you provide at each visit.
A full schedule but a low average per visit? Seeing more patients may not be your best first move. Review your appointment mix, treatment plans, and whether patients understand all appropriate options available to them.
A smaller gap? Identify the systems that are working, then decide which one improvement you can make consistently.
These scenarios illustrate collections, not profit or a prediction. The number alone cannot tell you why your practice is where it is.
Your next step is to finish the Million-Dollar Practice Formula course. The remaining lessons will help you interpret these numbers, find the opportunities within your practice, and choose what to work on first.
