somewhat technical question about how out practice manager calculates net collections rate:
Take January for example (but this could apply to any time period, they usually use the last 6 months). They look at the charges for January then they subtract out contractual right offs, and then compare this number to the ACTUAL cash collections for January. My question is that these charges that were made in January do not necessarily correlate to the cash collections that occurred in January. To figure out the collections rate does one not need to follow out the specific charges and figure out what was collected on those exact charges?
hope my question is making sense, thanks
