Key Billing KPIs to Track Monthly

1. Net Collection Rate

✔ Measures actual reimbursement compared to total allowed charges
✔ Helps assess revenue efficiency and payer performance
✔ Target benchmark: 95% or higher

2. Days in Accounts Receivable (A/R)

✔ Tracks how quickly payments are received
✔ Lower days mean faster cash flow
✔ Monitor both overall and payer-specific A/R aging

3. First Pass Resolution Rate (FPRR)

✔ Percentage of claims paid on first submission
✔ Indicates claim accuracy and process efficiency
✔ Goal: 90% or above

4. Denial Rate

✔ Shows the percentage of denied claims out of total submitted
✔ High denial rate signals deeper workflow issues
✔ Track by payer and denial reason monthly
