Getting Critical Information for Decision Support
Calculating Averages - Totals tab can be used to perform average calculations. - Averages are only calculated for subtotals. - Average calculations will include all services returned in the report. - In some reports, you can obtain averages for only services that have been paid using a Filter 2 option (payment amount less than zero); otherwise the $0 payments will be calculated into the average. - Rename the column to clarify value(s) reported.
Service Item Summary - Using Averages Average Charges, Payments and Adjustments Per CPT Code Number of line items returned for that item - controlled by the Count option on the Totals tab Number of units as entered in charge entry *This example includes services with no payments and therefore includes the zeros when performing the average calculations
Service Item Summary - Using Averages This example uses the Department filter to limit the results to E&M codes by Financial Class.
Evaluating Charges with Modifiers Evaluating charges with modifiers may require separate reports be run for the types of services you are evaluating - Surgery Services: Use Filter 2 setting of Mod 1 = Blank - Assistant Surgery or Secondary Surgery Services: Use Filter 2 setting of specific modifiers (e.g. Mod 1 = AS, -80, etc.) - Radiology Services: Varies depending on practice, but may need to evaluate -50, - TC, and/or -26 separately - Office Visits: Filter 2 can be used to isolate office visits with -25 modifiers to see if they differ in reimbursement; or you can group by modifier in that Department to look for variances
Total Patients by Provider - Add the Rendering to evaluate Patient totals for each provider - Use Totals Only to compare providers
Total Patients by Payer - Change Rendering to Payer/Financial Class evaluate Patient totals for each Payer/Financial Class
Patient Insurance Report - Looks at insurances actually used on Encounters, including COB
Identifying Highest Volume Codes - By charge amount - By units performed (count) - By paid amount - Break by provider - Break by location - Use departments and modalities for better comparisons

Service Item Summary Balance amount here represents the total amount of A/R left outstanding for each month, WITHOUT unapplied credits Financial Class logic ties everything back to the primary payer
