Healthcare AI Cost Savings Calculator — Compare Staffing vs AI Automation
The Samara Cost Savings Calculator helps outpatient healthcare practices estimate how much they can save by replacing traditional front-office staffing with AI automation. It uses real-time Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data to calculate total compensation costs — including a 1.35x benefits multiplier — for office managers, schedulers, receptionists, and marketing teams across any number of locations.
According to BLS 2024 data, the average medical office manager earns $4,200 per month before benefits. With benefits, that rises to $5,670 per month per manager. A typical 5-location practice with 1 manager and 5 team members per location spends over $34,000 per month on scheduling and intake staffing alone. Samara AI Teams replace this overhead starting at $1,500 per month.

The calculator supports 19 outpatient care categories: dermatology, dental, podiatry, med spa, orthopedic, chiropractic, physical therapy, mental health, nutritionist, speech and occupational therapy, veterinary, eye care, plastic surgery, medical, primary care, pediatric medicine, pediatric dental, audiology, and more.
