Benchmarks and sources
- Aging buckets follow the HFMA MAP Keys definitions (A/R aged from date of service). HFMA MAP Keys, 2023 edition.
- Median share of A/R over 120 days, multispecialty practices: 13.54% (2020 data). MGMA Stat, 11/11/2021.
- Better-performing practices: 8.1% of A/R over 120 days and more than 70% under 30 days (2020 data). MGMA Data mine, 12/14/2021.
- Medicare clean-claim payment within 30 days and 12-month filing limit. CMS Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 1.
- We do not show a "percent still recoverable" figure: we found no credible published study for one. What is recoverable depends on each claim's denial reason and filing deadline, which a review of your actual claims shows.
