Welcome to the MEA Savings Calculator! This tool is designed to highlight the time and cost savings that result when a provider submits supporting
claim documentation electronically. MEA actively conducts research around the time and motion associated with the claims attachment process.
With the objective expertise of the consulting firms Milliman, Inc. and Experis, a subsidiary of Manpower, Inc., and the claims attachment experience
we have gained in the dental field, we have quantified the time and cost savings represented by this calculator. Depending on procedures in your
practice, your experience may vary. So, on this page, feel free to adjust any of the values in blue to reflect your processes and potential savings
for your group.
