Explanation
Monthly profit = (patients/month * reimbursement) - (patients/month * variable cost) - fixed costs. Break-even patients/day divides fixed costs by per-patient contribution margin. Months to recover adds startup cost and one month of fixed costs to account for ramp and divides by monthly profit.
Chart shows cumulative profit over 24 months against startup costs. Adjust reimbursement, volume, and variable costs to reflect your payer mix and staffing model.
