Revenue Cycle Benchmarking
Is 42 Days in A/R Good? It Depends.
Revenue cycle numbers mean nothing in isolation. Healthcare SBC benchmarks your KPIs against MGMA and specialty peer data, then tells you which gaps are worth fixing first, and what each one is worth.
From metrics to a prioritized plan
Every practice tracks days in A/R and a denial rate. Very few know whether their numbers are strong or weak for their specialty, payer mix and size, which makes it impossible to know where to invest effort.
Our benchmarking assessment measures your performance across the KPIs that actually predict financial health and places each one against peer data.
You receive a written report quantifying the dollar value of each gap and a sequenced roadmap, so improvement work starts where the return is largest.

Why it matters
The outcomes practices actually measure
We are evaluated on the numbers that change in your operation, not on features shipped or tickets closed.
- Know where you really stand
- Objective peer comparison replaces internal assumptions about what 'normal' performance looks like.
- Prioritize by dollars
- Fix the gaps worth the most first instead of the ones that happen to be most visible.
- Build the business case
- Quantified findings justify investment in staffing, technology or outsourcing to your board or partners.
- Track progress credibly
- Re-benchmark on a schedule to prove improvement against an external standard rather than your own prior month.

FAQ
Revenue Cycle Benchmarking, frequently asked questions questions
- What KPIs should a medical practice track?
- The core set is days in A/R, first-pass clean claim rate, denial rate, net collection rate, percentage of A/R over 90 days, cost to collect, and charge lag. Together these show whether claims go out clean, get paid fully, and get paid quickly.
- What is a good days-in-A/R number?
- Strong performers generally sit between 25 and 35 days, though the right target varies by specialty and payer mix. Above 45 days usually signals a follow-up or denial-management problem worth investigating.
- Is the benchmarking assessment free?
- We offer a complimentary initial revenue cycle assessment for qualifying practices, which includes KPI measurement, benchmark comparison and a summary of recoverable revenue with no obligation.
