      Coverage

      BPI is rule-based, i.e., payer participation in the index is defined by dynamically rules at the time of computation and not by a static listing of specific payers. Therefore, any specific payer may start or discontinue participation in the index, dependent on satisfaction of rule's conditions.

      Current selection of payers for participation in the BPI is based on fifty top-volume providers across all United States that have received Billing Precision services for more than six months and have more than two hundred claims in their current Accounts Receivable.

      Update Cycle

      BillingPrecision.com updates BPI on a monthly basis.

      Volume Weighting

      BPI is volume weighted, which is important to accomodate future growth of provided information, index combinations, and sensitivity across multiple indices.

      Information Provided

      BPI computes the percent of Accounts Receivable beyond 120 days. Note that national average across all medical specialties of percent of accounts receivable beyond 120 days is 17.7%.
