What KPI's can you monitor using Datalytics?

1. Gross Charges and Net Payments

Datalytics provides the ability to look at this metric in a different manner.

In terms of Gross Charges, you will see the year over year comparison of charges and a projection for the current year based on the average monthly charges and the variance from the previous year. Gross Charges are presented in a year by month view, as a Payer mix and by provider. Net Collections are presented with these last 3 features, also including Payment Type and Payment Place. 

2. Clearinghouse Acceptance

Percentage of claims year to date that made it to the clearinghouse on first pass. Datalytics offers a "Claim Rejection Category Distribution" detail that will give you a claim rejection detail analysis to get to the root cause of rejection so you can identify it and work on it to improve your processes. 

3. Collection Percent

Percentage of charges converted to payments in the current 12 months. This metric is good for forecasting. Datalytics also has a Financial Class Payment to Charge Ratio Performance report that provides a breakdown by year and financial class of the PCR, as well as the overall average. 

4. A/R Management

For Accounts Receivable, you can analyze 2 key metrics in the dashboard: Days in AR and the percent of primary insurance over 90 days from the first billed date.

Industry objective for this metric is less than 50 days. Health Prime's best practice is 28 days for Total AR (20 days for Primary Insurance, 2 days for all additional insurance and 6 days for patient). In the AR detail tab, you can see more information such as: Total AR, Insurance AR and Patient AR. On Datalytics, you will be able to see the breakdown by Financial Class, aging buckets, or even claim level.

5. Charge Acceptance

Percentage of charges that are paid on first pass to the payer without being denied for controllable reasons. Health Prime's best practices is 98%. On this KPI you can also see your denial rate by percentage allowing you to quantify the effectiveness of your RCM processes. Industry average is 5-10%, however HP best practice is <2%.

You can export your own data and analyze the denial detail to develop performance improvement plans to reduce or eliminate denial or group of denials. 

Health Prime's benchmarks are above the industry average

8. Claims Timeline

• Number of days from Date of Service to Date of Posting: how long it takes for the provider to send the charges.
• Number of days from Date of Posting to First Billed Date: time it takes the biller to submit the claim to insurance. 

With Datalytics you can see the timeline for each provider in the practice. This enables practice managers to be aware into where delays in claim submission may lie.

9. Unbilled Claims
