What is a Claims by Payor Report ? Claims by payor reports are considered operational reports and are used by CFOs, accountants and claims managers to analyze claims statistics and related charges and reimbursements. Some of the main functionality in this type of report is that it shows claims-related information by employee and insurance provider (payor). The metrics include charges, reimbursements, # of claims, # of claims paid, and % of claims paid. All figures roll up to totals by payor. You find an example of this type of report below. Purpose of Claims by Payor Reports Healthcare providers use Claims by Payor Reports to provide managers with a clear understanding of how many claims are paid and how much of their charges are reimbursed. When used as part of good business practices in a Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) department, a healthcare organization can improve its revenues and claims processes as well as reduce the chances that financial results suffer as a result of poor insight to claims metrics.
