What is
a
Monthly Billing Summary Report for a Healthcare Provider
? Billing summary reports are considered operational analysis reports and are used by accountants to analyze billing revenues from various perspectives. Some of the main functionality in this type of visual report is that it is parameter driven and contains four major sections: 1) Monthly billings by insurance company, 2) Monthly billings by biller, 3) Monthly billings by doctor and 4) Monthly billings by revenue group. Note: Only the first section is visible in the screenshot below. You find an example of this type of visual report below.
Purpose of
Monthly Billing Summary Reports Healthcare providers use Monthly Billing Summary Reports to give executives and financial managers an easy, self-service way to slice the organization's billing revenues. When used as part of good business practices in a Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) department, a healthcare institution can improve its billing revenues and related strategies and planning as well as reduce the chances that managers lack insight to important drivers of billing revenues.
