Key Metrics to Track in Revenue Cycle Management

A strong Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) strategy ensures healthcare providers receive timely payments while minimizing revenue loss. But how do you measure the success of your billing processes? Tracking key performance metrics helps identify inefficiencies, improve cash flow, and enhance overall financial performance.

Here are the most important RCM metrics to monitor:

  • Days in Accounts Receivable (A/R)
    Measures how long it takes to collect payments. A lower A/R days metric means faster cash flow and improved financial stability.
  • Clean Claim Rate (CCR)
    The percentage of claims processed without errors on the first submission. A high CCR reduces denials and accelerates reimbursements.
  • First-Pass Resolution Rate (FPRR)
    Tracks the percentage of claims paid upon the first submission. A high FPRR indicates strong billing accuracy and efficiency.
  • Denial Rate
    Measures the percentage of claims denied by payers. Reducing this metric improves revenue recovery and reduces administrative work.
  • Net Collection Rate (NCR)
    The percentage of expected revenue successfully collected. A high NCR means a practice is optimizing reimbursements and minimizing revenue loss.
  • Patient Payment Collection Rate
    Measures how effectively a practice collects payments directly from patients. Clear communication and flexible payment options help improve this rate.
