Practice Health Check

Score eight signals across revenue cycle, payer mix, capacity, staffing and leakage — and see which to fix first.

Illustrative assumptions. Default values here are example inputs for demonstration only — not validated reimbursement rates, costs or benchmarks. Replace every field with your own practice’s figures.

Revenue cycle
days

Confirm whether yours is computed on gross or net charges before comparing it to anything.

%

Count-based. Also run it by dollars — one denied surgical claim can outweigh dozens of small ones.

%

What you collected against what you were contractually entitled to collect.

%

Where problems accumulate. This usually moves before days in A/R does.

Revenue leakage
%

Excluding contractual adjustments — this is revenue given up, not discounted by contract.

Payer mix
%

Concentration risk: the share of collections from your single biggest payer.

Capacity
days

Harder to game than average wait, and it responds quickly when real capacity changes.

Staffing
%

Recruitment, onboarding, trainer time and ramp gap are real costs that never appear as a line item.

Scoring bands here are illustrative reference points chosen to show the mechanism — they are not licensed benchmark data. Treat the score as a prompt to look somewhere specific, not a certified comparison to urology practices of your size and payer mix.

How this is calculated

  • Each of eight signals is scored 0–100 by linear interpolation between a 'strong' and a 'weak' reference point.
  • Signals are grouped into categories — revenue cycle, payer mix, capacity, staffing, and for ID referral concentration, authorization performance and infusion economics — and each category is scored on its own.
  • Categories are weighted and combined into a single practice score; net collection rate and denial rate carry the most weight.
  • The 'start here' recommendation is the signal with the lowest weight-adjusted score, not the lowest raw score.

What it does not do

  • The reference points are illustrative values, not licensed benchmarks or validated, sourced data.
  • It cannot distinguish a definitional difference (gross vs net days in A/R) from a real performance difference.
  • A score is a prompt to look somewhere specific. It is not a grade, and it is not a diagnosis.
