What is First-Pass Resolution Rate?
Definition
First-pass resolution rate (also called first-pass yield or first-pass acceptance rate) measures the percentage of claims that are paid on their initial submission without requiring resubmission, appeal, or additional follow-up. It is one of the most important indicators of claim submission quality. A high first-pass rate directly correlates with faster revenue collection and lower administrative costs.
Why It Matters
Every claim that fails first-pass resolution costs significantly more to collect due to rework, appeals, and delayed payment. Industry leaders target first-pass resolution rates above 95%, but many organizations struggle to reach 85%. Improving this single metric has an outsized impact on overall revenue cycle performance and staff productivity.
