5 Medical Billing KPIs Your Practice Should Be Tracking

In This Article:

As a healthcare provider, it’s important to have the right knowledge and tools on hand to increase your overall revenue and productivity. That’s why it’s so important to regularly track medical billing KPIs (key performance indicators) that measure how effectively you’re doing your job and how your practice compares to others in the industry. You can also use medical billing KPIs to help focus on areas that need improvement. Here are KPIs that are important to be tracking in your practice.

Spend per User

A key metric for any medical billing company is its spend per user. This number tells you how much, on average, each of your customers is spending with your company. The higher your numbers are in comparison to this figure, the more opportunity there is for improvement and optimization!

Average Revenue Per User

With the right medical billing software, you can track a number of key performance indicators (KPIs) to help you assess the health of your practice.

Patient Retention Rate

One of the most important medical billing KPIs your practice should be tracking is your patient retention rate. This metric tells you how many of your patients are continuing to see you for their care. A high patient retention rate means that patients are happy with the care they're receiving and are less likely to switch to another provider.

Profit Margin

Revenue Yield, also known as Profit Margin, is one of the most important medical billing KPIs for your practice. This metric tells you what percentage of your total revenue is profit. To calculate it, simply divide your net income by your total revenue.

Number of Billed Patients

The first metric any medical billing department should be tracking is the number of billed patients. This number shows you how many patients you’re able to generate invoices for. You should also track the percentage of patients with a positive balance.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
