What is a Reimbursement Program Dashboard ? Reimbursement Program Dashboards are considered patient assistance analysis tools and are used by Program Managers to monitor KPIs in their programs. Some of the main functionality in this type of dashboard is that it provides graphical insights from six different perspectives: 1) Year to date cost of reimbursements, 2) Claims by reimbursement status, 3) Reimbursement cost by product, 4) Year to date reimbursement by channel, 5) Top 5 claimants, and 6) Reimbursement cost by product. You find an example of this type of dashboard below. Purpose of Reimbursement Program Dashboards Pharmaceutical companies use Reimbursement Program Dashboards to give managers quick insights into metrics and trends in their patient assistance programs. When used as part of good business practices in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) and Reimbursement departments, an organization can improve its reimbursement strategies and strengthen financial outcomes, and it can reduce the chances that it takes too much time to detect and adjust inefficient programs.
