You can't improve what you don't measure. These eight KPIs give practice owners a clear view of revenue cycle health.

  • Net collection rate (target 95%+)
  • Days in AR (target under 35)
  • AR over 90 days (target under 15%)
  • First-pass resolution rate (target 95%+)
  • Denial rate (target under 5%)
  • Charge lag (target under 2 days)
  • Cost to collect
  • Patient collection rate

Review them monthly

Look at trends, not snapshots. Break each KPI down by payer, provider, and location to find exactly where to act.
