What is
a
Reimbursement Analysis Dashboard
? Reimbursement Dashboards are considered operational analysis tools and are used by program and product managers to review expenses and other metrics related to the company's drug reimbursement program. Some of the main functionality in this type of report is that it provides graphical analysis of five key performance indicators (KPIs), including: 1) Year-to-date (YTD) costs of reimbursement requests, 2) Reimbursements by channel (hospitals, physicians, retail pharmacies, etc.) YTD, 3) Number of claims by reimbursement status (in process, paid, pending, to pay), 4) Top five claimants (hospital, patients, health plans, government, social workers), and 5) Reimbursement cost by product. You find an example of this type of dashboard below.
Purpose of
Reimbursement Analysis Dashboards Pharmaceutical companies use Reimbursement Analysis Dashboards to give managers self-service analysis that enables them to closely monitor expenses and other metrics related to the reimbursement program. When used as part of good business practices in Finance and Product departments, a company can improve its profitability and policies, and it can reduce the chances that managers miss trends and outliers that could have been used to improve program strategies.
