Dr. Lauer (and Gene),
I like a general idea of our collection percentage, so run reports about once a month with just overall totals. It isn't exact, but gives me a good idea. I tend to run off of a total that doesn't count the write-off amounts (Medicare or insurance contracts) as I don't categorize that as collectible income. However, even if I don't do that and go off of straight totals, our overal collection rate is 87%. I can't imagine rates as low as you list.
Your amounts may be accurate and may even be the best you can expect, but at least here, they would be extremely lacking.
