Medical Practice Revenue Cycle Calculator

Evaluate your practice's revenue cycle health by calculating key performance indicators including net collection rate, days in accounts receivable (AR), denial rate, and estimated revenue leakage.

Total Charges Billed ($)

Gross charges submitted to payers over the period

Contractual Adjustments ($)

Write-offs due to payer contracts (not bad debt)

Total Collections ($)

Actual payments received from payers and patients

Current AR Balance ($)

Total outstanding accounts receivable balance

Period Length (Days)

Number of days in the reporting period (e.g. 30, 90, 365)

Total Claims Submitted

Number of claims submitted during the period

Claims Denied

Number of claims denied by payers (initial denials)

Bad Debt Write-offs ($)

Uncollectible amounts written off (not contractual)

#### Formulas Used

Gross Collection Rate = (Collections ÷ Gross Charges) × 100

Net Collection Rate = Collections ÷ (Gross Charges − Contractual Adjustments) × 100

Days in AR (DAR) = AR Balance ÷ (Gross Charges ÷ Period Days)

Denial Rate = (Claims Denied ÷ Claims Submitted) × 100

Net Collectible Revenue = Gross Charges − Contractual Adjustments

Uncollected Net Revenue = max(0, Net Collectible − Collections)

Total Revenue Leakage = Bad Debt Write-offs + Uncollected Net Revenue

Average Revenue per Claim = Collections ÷ Total Claims Submitted

#### Assumptions & References

Net Collection Rate benchmark ≥ 95%: MGMA (Medical Group Management Association) recommends top-performing practices maintain ≥ 95–98%.
Days in AR benchmark < 35 days: MGMA and HFMA (Healthcare Financial Management Association) cite < 35 days as best practice; > 50 days signals significant concern.
Denial Rate benchmark < 5%: MGMA reports top-quartile practices achieve initial denial rates below 5%; industry average is 5–10%.
Bad Debt benchmark < 2% of collections: Generally accepted threshold for well-managed practices (HFMA).
