Practice Analytics & Reporting
Practice analytics turns revenue cycle data into decisions. The metrics that matter are net collection ratio, first-pass clean claim rate, days in AR, denial rate by reason and payer, and cost to collect. Vizora delivers those continuously, benchmarked, with the analysis needed to act on them.
What’s included
- Live dashboards — Key metrics updated continuously rather than compiled monthly.
- Denial analytics — Denial rate broken out by reason code, payer, provider and service line.
- Payer performance — Comparative analysis of payment speed, denial rate and underpayment by payer.
- Trend analysis — Performance tracked over time so direction is visible, not just position.
- Benchmarking — Your metrics compared against MGMA and HFMA industry benchmarks.
- Actionable recommendations — Analysis that names the specific change to make, not just the number that moved.
The problem
Where practice analytics goes wrong
No clear view of how the revenue cycle is actually performing
Data trapped across practice management, clearinghouse and payer systems
Reports compiled by hand and outdated by the time they are read
Problems visible only after they have cost a quarter of revenue
No benchmark for whether current performance is good or poor
Reporting that describes what happened but not what to do

Questions
Practice Analytics FAQ
Last updated August 20, 2026
Reviewed by a certified coding leadFive carry most of the signal: net collection ratio (what you collect against what was collectible), first-pass clean claim rate, days in AR, denial rate segmented by reason and payer, and cost to collect. Most other metrics are downstream of these five.
Net collection ratio measures collections against the amount actually collectible after contractual adjustments. Consistently below 95% indicates revenue being lost to denials, underpayments or write-offs — and the segmented data is what tells you which of the three.
Dashboards refresh multiple times daily, subject to your practice management system's data availability. Historical data is retained so trend analysis and period comparison are possible from the start.
Yes. Metrics are presented against published MGMA and HFMA benchmarks so you can see whether 38 days in AR is good or poor for your specialty. Context is what makes a number actionable.

Charge Capture
Charge capture is the process of recording every billable service a provider delivered so it reaches a claim. Services documented in the chart but never converted into a charge are revenue lost permanently — no denial appears, no report flags it, and nothing prompts anyone to look.
Undercoding
Undercoding is billing a lower-level or less specific code than the documentation supports. It produces no denials, triggers no alerts and appears nowhere in a standard revenue report — which makes it the least visible and most persistent form of revenue leakage in a physician practice.
Net Collection Rate
Net collection rate is payments received divided by the amount you were contractually entitled to collect, after removing contractual adjustments. It answers the question gross collection rate cannot: of the money you actually had a right to, how much did you get?
Underpayment
An underpayment is a claim paid below the contracted allowed amount. Unlike a denial it produces no alert, posts cleanly, and closes the claim — which is why systematic underpayment can run for years without anyone noticing. Detection requires comparing every payment against a loaded fee schedule.
