Calculate days in AR, clean claim rate, net collection rate and denial rate, and see how each compares with common industry targets.
Bands use commonly cited industry targets. Your specialty and payer mix can shift them.
The formulas
Total AR ÷ (gross charges ÷ days)How long it takes to collect what you bill.First-pass accepted ÷ submitted × 100Claims that got through edits with no rework.Payments ÷ (charges − contractual adj.) × 100How much of the allowed amount you collect.Denied claims ÷ claims processed × 100Share of claims the payer refused to pay.Read the full guide to days in AR → Clean claim rate guide →
Divide total accounts receivable by average daily gross charges. Average daily gross charges are the gross charges for a period, usually the last 90 days, divided by the number of days in that period.
Many practices aim for under 40 days, and under 30 is strong for most specialties.
Payments received divided by gross charges minus contractual adjustments, times 100. It shows how much of what you are allowed to collect you actually collect.
A common target is a clean claim rate of 95 percent or higher and a denial rate under 5 percent.
