Mercury · Desk hours estimate

The hours your desk spendson work the agents prepare.

Five questions about your practice. You’ll see the desk hours a year going into missed contacts, authorizations, held visits, reports, cancellations and patients who drift off their plan, and how much of it Mercury’s agents could hand back. Nothing about any patient is asked or stored.
