The $103 Billion AI Opportunity in Specialty Care

We called 10,000 specialty practices, tracking real wait times throughout the day, and combined that with more than 5 million calls and patient and insurance interactions from Prosper's own network. The result is the most complete map yet of where specialty practices actually lose revenue, and it's bigger, and shaped differently, than the industry conversation assumes: $103 billion a year, with deeper Medicare cuts arriving in 2027.

The report breaks that gap into four levers practice leaders can control, converting more appointments, re-engaging patients already in their system, increasing front-end reimbursement, and improving patient collections, and shows why combining them compounds the return rather than adding up one at a time.

It includes a specialty-by-specialty breakdown, six data-backed charts, and a look at how AI is already closing this gap for practices that have adopted it.
