August 2026: 3 of 5 numbers need attention. Start with initial denial rate (10.6%, bottom quartile and rising).
Where to look first
Bottom quartile of the organization's sites, or worse than its median and still getting worse.
- Initial denial rate: 10.6%
Bottom quartile, 3.0 points from the organization median, and worse than three months ago. Each denial is rework: someone has to find the reason, fix the claim and send it again. A rising rate is usually a front desk or coding problem that is cheaper to fix early.
What to try first
- Pull last month's denials and group them by reason and by payer; the top three reasons usually explain most of the total.
- Confirm insurance eligibility and coverage for every patient before the visit, not after the claim comes back.
- Have a coder review a sample of claims for the five most billed visit codes to catch errors that repeat.
- No-show rate: 8.9%
Bottom quartile, 2.3 points from the organization median. An empty slot is a visit that cannot be billed and a patient who did not get care. Reminder calls and overbooking rules are tuned against this number.
What to try first
- Look at which days, times and appointment types are missed most often; the pattern is usually narrow.
- Send a reminder two days before each visit and a second one the day before, by text where patients have agreed to it.
- Keep a short list of patients who can come in at short notice, so a missed slot can still be filled.
- Visits per provider per day: 19.5 visits
Bottom quartile, 2.2 visits from the organization median. It is the clearest read on capacity. A low number with a long waiting list usually points at scheduling templates, not at the providers.
What to try first
- Compare each provider's template with the visits actually booked to find slots that are blocked or rarely used.
- Time a handful of visits from arrival to departure to see where rooms and staff sit idle.
- Count the same day openings that go unfilled and check whether the front desk can book into them.
