Outstanding sales orders days Track created, confirmed and rolling unconfirmed Identify number of SOs and affiliated dollar amounts Identify number created to ensure new sales are steady or growing Identify growth in unconfirmed; this is UNRECOGNIZED revenue; if it ages, it could be LOST revenue E.G.: Unconfirmed backlog is 7 days (calendar days) in the most recent month vs. 5 days from 6 months prior. Not concerning as it is tracking the average
Non-billable revenue ratio Track items and dollars by aging bucket Compare volume and dollars to monthly volume to get an assessment of days on hold In this example, days on hold is acceptable, but items over 90 are going to be questionable based on payer timely filing requirements
Denials ratio Track volume and percent of items released; identify top reasons for denials as these are a precursor to write-offs
Open A/R over 90 days ratio Track opened A/R by aging bucket from invoice open date Monitor growth in open A/R and aging buckets; are you diligently following up on A/R in the 120+ bucket? Are you responding to denials in a timely manner?
Write off ratio Track AR you should have been able to collect but failed to Visibility into broken processes
