Healthcare Biotech Revenue Model

Reimbursement-driven revenue model with payer mix, reimbursement rates, and billing collection efficiency. Model patient volume ramp separately from revenue per patient as payer mix shifts.

Revenue Drivers

  • Patient volume x reimbursement rate by payer class
  • Commercial payer revenue (higher reimbursement)
  • Medicare/Medicaid revenue (standardized rates)
  • Enterprise health system contract revenue

COGS Structure

  • Clinical labor (physicians, nurses, care coordinators)
  • Medical supplies and device costs
  • EHR and health IT infrastructure
  • Medical billing and revenue cycle management

Unit Economics to Model

  • Revenue per patient by payer type
  • Cost to serve per patient (clinical + overhead)
  • Contribution margin per patient at break-even
  • Patient acquisition cost via provider referral
  • Prior authorization denial rate and cost impact

Key Model Assumptions

Seed models should have a clearly documented assumption page. Every assumption should include a source (comparable company benchmark, customer interview data, or market research). Avoid top-down market share assumptions.

  • Payer mix evolution (commercial vs. government)
  • Prior authorization approval rate
  • Accounts receivable days and collection efficiency
  • Volume ramp by site of care or provider partner

Funding Scenarios

Show base case (on-plan), downside (50% of plan), and recovery timeline from downside. Include a Series A readiness milestone tracker showing the KPIs required to raise.
