What is RCM Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)?
Definition
RCM Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) refers to the measurable metrics used to assess the financial and operational health of the revenue cycle across registration, coding, billing, and collections. Examples include AR days, denial rate, first-pass resolution rate, net collection rate, and clean-claim rate. Leaders set targets—e.g., AR days under 40 and first-pass rate over 90%—to manage performance by payer, site, and service line.
Why It Matters
For a health system with $300M in net patient revenue, reducing AR days from 55 to 40 frees about $12.3M in working capital ($300M/365×15). Improving first-pass resolution from 85% to 92% can eliminate thousands of reworks per month, cutting $25–$40 per claim in labor and accelerating cash by 1–2 weeks enterprise-wide.
