Financial performance ranks as one of the top 3 concerns amongst most physicians and medical practices; especially due to increased claim rejection rates and cost of resources while collecting practice revenues.
The rate at which you turn claims into cash establishes whether your practice is prospering or not.
Industry Standards State:
| 1). Claims rejections rate of a stabilized practice should be 5% which saves thousands of dollars |
| 2). Current rejections rate of in-house billers is 15% which is going out of provider’s pocket |
|
Validating this further – “ High performing practices denial rates are below 5%; while other practices denial rates are between 10% - 20% or in the extreme even at 30% sometimes” |
