What is a
Claims Analysis Dashboard
? Claims Dashboards are considered payor and reimbursement analysis tools and are used by CFOs and medical billing managers to analyze KPIs related to claims. Some of the main functionality in this type of dashboard is that it uses KPIs, a matrix and charts to provide analysis in seven areas: 1) Total charges and reimbursement amounts, 2) Number of claims and claims paid, 3) Payor report matrix with charges, reimbursements, number of claims, number of claims paid, percent of claims paid, 4) Total charges KPI (amount), Total number of claims KPI, Total reimbursements KPI (amount), and Total number of claims paid KPI. You find an example of this type of dashboard below.
Purpose of
Claims Analysis Dashboards Healthcare organizations use Claims Analysis Dashboards to give managers a single place to easily review claims metrics. When used as part of good business practices in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) and Billing departments, an organization can improve its payor and claims processes, and it can reduce the chances that revenues are lost due to lack of analysis and oversight.
