Example: Dr. Smith has 1200 active charts. 20% of this is 240. 240 divided by 12 is 20. To maintain a healthy practice, Dr. Smith should be getting at least 20 new patients each month.

a) The new patients are fee-for-service. b) The doctor has an acceptable skill level when it comes to treatment presentation and acceptance (which is reflected in production and collections).
