Report on Provider Productivity in the Report Library

Coming Soon in PCC 10.1: This feature is currently being tested and is not yet available to all PCC Clients. Stay tuned for additional functionality and release information.

Practices can report on provider productivity over time using the Total Charges and Payments by Provider and Month report. This report is particularly helpful for practices using a revenue-based compensation model for clinicians. Practices looking to minimize unpaid charges can use this report to compare payments by procedure group as well.

To get an overview of provider productivity trends at your practice, visit the Practice Vitals Dashboard productivity page.

Run the Total Charges and Payments by Provider and Month Report

When you wish to view provider productivity, or to get an overview of charges and payments by month, run the Total Charges and Payments by Provider and Month Report in the Report Library.

Open the Report Library

Open the Report Library from the Reports menu in PCC EHR.

Select the Report

In the Financial Oversight category, select the Total Charges and Payments by Provider and Month report.

Limit Access to This Report: Your practice can set which users have access to Financial Oversight reports in the Report Library. See Restrict Access to Reports in the PCC EHR Report Library for more information.

Select Your Criteria

You can select criteria to control the results that display on your report output. For practices using this report to identify revenue generated, or for clinician compensation models, common procedure exclusions for this report are immunizations, injections, and miscellaneous office fees.

To explore your options for this report’s criteria, read the Select Criteria Options section below.

Generate the Report

Click “Generate” to run the report.

Adjust Output

You can sort, arrange, and filter your report output in a variety of ways.

The Group By drop-down will group entries by the criteria that you select. If you group by transaction month, for example, the report data will be organized by month. Numerical columns subtotal at the bottom of each group.

You can further organize each section by clicking the column headers to sort the information by the column of your choice.

To learn more about navigating and working with report output, read Run Reports in the PCC EHR Report Library.

Optionally Export or Print

You can choose your output format and print or export your report to PDF or CSV.

Select Criteria Options

Use the section below to understand your financial oversight criteria options.

Transaction Date

You can choose your date range using the drop-down list, the date fields, or the calendar icon.

This report uses the transaction date by default. For charges, the transaction date is based on dates of service. For payments, the transaction date is the date found on the check, EOB, or ERA.

Include by Procedure

The default for this report is to include all procedures. Click “Edit” and use the search filter to find and select procedures by name, group, or procedure code.

To run a report for a specific procedure or procedure group, select the procedures from the Include by Procedure list. Your report will only include the charges and payments attributed to the procedures you chose, so you do not need to exclude any procedures.

To run a report including charges and payments attributed to all procedures except a few, leave the Include by Procedure default of All Procedures. Then exclude the procedures you don’t want included by selecting them on the Exclude by Procedure list.

To learn more about including and excluding criteria in reports, visit Run Reports in the PCC EHR Report Library

Exclude by Procedure

The default for this report is to exclude no procedures. Click “Edit” and use the search filter to find and select procedures by name, group, or procedure code.

Location

The default setting for this report includes all locations in the report output. If you select a location to include before you generate the report, only that location’s data will be included in the report output.

Provider

The default setting for this report includes all providers of service in the report output. If you select a provider to include before you generate the report, only that provider’s data will be included in the report output.

Provider of service is set when charges are posted or entered manually during payment posting.

Customize to Identify Additional Columns and Criteria

The Total Charges and Payments by Provider and Month report uses aggregate data that can be organized by including columns during report customization and by sorting the report output.

When you customize this report to include additional criteria, such as location and procedure, you must select the criteria as well as the column in order for the criteria to display as a column in the report output. To learn more about customizing a report, read Create a Custom Report.

Optionally Add a Column to Subtotal by Location

To display location and other additional columns in your report output, customize your report and select the columns you wish to include.

You can group the report by location so that the total charges and total payments subtotal within each location.

For more information on how to work with your report output read Run Reports in the PCC EHR Report Library.

Optionally Include Service Charges and Non-Service Charges

To see your practice’s service and non-service charges totaled separately, select these columns during customization.

Whether a charge is considered service or non-service depends on the assigned accounting type for the charge’s procedure as set in the procedure table found in the table editor (ted).

Service charges are procedures that have an accounting type of “Revenue”. These are typically clinical procedures, such as office visits, immunizations, and screenings.
Non-service charges are procedures that do not have the accounting type of “Revenue”. Some examples are non-clinical service fees, capitation payment offsets, and insurance interest or incentive payment offsets.

To learn more about accounting types, read Edit Your Practice’s Procedures, Codes, Adjustments, and Prices.

Optionally Include Posting Date

PCC recommends running this report solely by transaction date when measuring provider charge and payment productivity. Running solely by transaction date, not posting date, will reflect charges and payments attributed to the specified transaction date range as opposed to when the charges and payments were posted.

To include the posting date range, customize your report, click “Select Criteria”, and then select “Posting Date”.

You can include the posting date in addition to, or instead of, the transaction date.

Interpret Report Results

Your report output is based on the criteria you selected. The default report criteria present a simple overview of your providers’ productivity by transaction month. Customized reports present a more detailed, and more complex, organization of the data.

Interpret the Default Report

The default report output is sorted by provider and then by transaction month. Total charges and total payments subtotal within each row.

The results display all locations by default. If you selected locations while setting criteria on the default report, your location selections will be the only locations included in the report output.

Refunds and reversed insurance payments (also known as “takebacks”) display in the Refund Amount column.

Insurance Reversals and Providers: If the insurance payment reversal is not associated with a provider, the provider column will display “None”.

Interpret a Custom Report

Custom reports can provide a more detailed view of your data. If you selected location and procedure group during customization, for example, this additional information will display on your report. If you selected many criteria during report customization, the aggregate data will be broken down into even greater detail. Each unique combination of criteria displays on its own row.

For example, if you added location to the report, the data will automatically display by provider and month (the default), and then by location. If you also selected Procedure Group, the data will display by provider, then by month, then by location, and finally by procedure group.

You can group and sort this output to further organize your data.

Differences between Daysheet-Based Reports and Financial Reports in the Report Library

There are three main differences between PCC’s daysheet-based reports in Practice Management and the Total Charges and Payments by Provider and Month report in the Report Library.

The Total Charges and Payments by Provider and Month report is run by transaction date, rather than posting date, in the default report.
Relinked payments are always included in the Total Charges and Payments by Provider and Month report in the Report Library.
Insurance payments (including insurance check payments) are listed as separate from personal check payments in the Total Charges and Payments by Provider and Month report.
