7 RCM KPIs Every Practice Should Track

Clean claim rate measures how often claims pass payer edits on first submission. Target: above 95%.

Days in AR tracks how long revenue sits uncollected. Benchmark against specialty peers, not generic industry averages.

Denial rate should be tracked as a percentage of claims submitted, not dollars—dollar-weighted views hide volume problems.

Net collection rate, AR over 90 days, cost to collect, and payer mix trends round out a complete RCM dashboard.

Review these KPIs monthly with your billing partner. Data without action is just reporting.
