Revenue Trend gives you four monthly lines on one chart so you can see effective collection rate over time at a glance.
What it shows
- Billed — dollars charged out by month.
- Collected — dollars actually received.
- Contractual adjustments — write-downs to contract rates.
- Write-offs — amounts written off as uncollectible.
The gap between the billed and collected lines is your effective collection rate. Contractual adjustments and write-offs explain the rest.
What it is useful for
- Tracking effective collection rate over time.
- Spotting months where write-offs spike — usually points at a process or payer problem.
- Forecasting cash flow against historical revenue patterns.
