  Blue Cross Blue Shield Michigan heads Chiropractic Office Billing Software Precision Index (BPI) for the second month straight. Overall, May 2007 BPI dropped 3.5%, bringing the index from 14.6 down to 18.1, below the national average of 17.7%. May BPI replaced three BPI participants on the list of top ten performers. BPI guides chiropractic office managers and helps the development of both chiropractic billing software and billing performance standards.

  BPI = 18.1 means that the average of ten top performing payers working with Billing Precision clients have 18.1% of Accounts Receivable beyond 120 days. BPI is a key billing performance characteristic, as it is a proxy of the claims that are never paid. Obviously, the lower is the index the better is billing performance. The table below also lists the top ten performing payers and their relative index as recorded in the Billing Precision's system.

        Savings Bonds
        One of the safest modes of investing money in the market is savings bonds, as they are backed by the full faith and credit of a country’s government.One of the unique features of these bonds are that if an investor doesn’t keep these for a month, he is still entitled to receive interest for the whole month; meanwhile, other bonds pay interest for the exact days that the investor keeps the bond with him.

      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 accommodate 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%.

      Summary

      Chiropractic Office Billing Software Performance Index helps the development of both chiropractic office billing software and billing performance standards. Chiropractic office managers can use the index to benchmark their billing performance and guide its improvement over time. Rule-based index definition allows for automated inclusion and exclusion of payers in the index based on payer attributes, such as numbers of processed claims, accounts receivable distribution, certain mix of CPT codes, or patient demographics.
