August 2026: 2 of 5 numbers need attention. Start with initial denial rate (8.7%, bottom quartile).

Where to look first

Bottom quartile of the organization's sites, or worse than its median and still getting worse.

  • Initial denial rate: 8.7%

    Bottom quartile, 1.1 points from the organization median. 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.
  • Days in A/R: 44 days

    Bottom quartile, 5 days from the organization median, though improving. Every extra day is cash the practice has earned but cannot use. It is usually the first number a lender or a new managing partner asks for.

    What to try first

    • Sort open claims by age and work everything older than 90 days first, largest balances at the top.
    • Measure how many days pass between a visit and its claim going out; charges held for a missing note or code are the usual cause.
    • Ask the front desk to collect copays and any prior balance before the visit rather than billing for them afterward.

Days in A/R

Lower is better. Worse than the organization median in 12 of the last 12 months. Total A/R at month end divided by average daily gross charges over the last three months.
