Medical Practice Benchmarking
Abstract:
Medical practice information (e.g., insurance claim information) is received from a plurality of medical practices (e.g., 80% of the medical practices in Massachusetts). The medical practice information is combined together so that inter-practice statistics can be determined based on the aggregated practice information. The aggregated practice information is analyzed to remove all individual medical practice identifying information (e.g., the Winston Cardiologist Group address which associated with its patients). The inter-practice statistics includes, for example, payment time for a particular procedure for a particular medical specialty in a geographic region (e.g., cardiologists in Massachusetts urban areas receive insurance payments for an angioplasty in 14.5 days) and/or any other type of statistic associated with a medical practice (e.g., insurance claim hold time). The inter-practice statistics can be utilized to allow a medical practice to improve its insurance claim submissions based on successful submissions of other medical practices (e.g., emulating the submissions of successful medical practices).
