Hidden Costs Medical Practices Often Overlook

High Turnover Rate (30% Industry Average)

Medical scribes often leave for medical school or other opportunities, requiring constant recruitment and training. Each turnover costs approximately $23,676 in lost productivity and training.

3-6 Month Training Period

New scribes require extensive training on medical terminology, EHR systems, and your specific workflows. During this time, they're less productive and require supervision from your clinical staff.

HIPAA Compliance & Security Risks

Each employee with access to patient data increases security risk. Scribes require HIPAA training, background checks, and ongoing compliance monitoring.

Physical Space & Equipment

Scribes need workstations, computers, and physical space in your already crowded exam rooms. This overhead is often not calculated in the base salary costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can we transition from medical scribes to DAX Copilot?

Most practices complete the transition in 2-3 weeks. This includes EHR integration, provider training (1-2 hours per provider), and a gradual phase-out of scribes as providers become comfortable with the system.

What happens to our current medical scribes?

Many practices redeploy scribes to other valuable roles like medical assistants, care coordinators, or administrative positions. The high turnover rate (30%) often means natural attrition handles most transitions.

Is the $57,129 savings guaranteed?

The savings are based on eliminating one full-time scribe position at market rates in California. Your actual savings may be higher if you currently use multiple scribes or pay above-market rates. The calculation includes all hidden costs like benefits, training, and turnover.

How does DAX Copilot compare to offshore/remote scribes?

Even offshore scribes cost $2,000-3,000/month when you factor in management overhead, quality issues, and time zone challenges. DAX Copilot at $369/month provides superior accuracy, instant availability, and no management required.

Can DAX Copilot handle our specialty?

Yes! DAX Copilot is trained on over 15 million clinical encounters across all specialties. It includes specialty-specific AI-model training data, terminology, and workflow optimizations for all medical specialties.
