Find the Revenue eClinicalWorks Already Shows You, Just Not Together
eClinicalWorks has a report for unbilled encounters, a report for denials, a report for A/R aging, and a report for patient collections. It has no single report that adds them up and tells you which one is actually costing you the most.
This calculator pulls your real numbers from six eCW report categories—charge capture, claims submission, denial management, A/R, patient collections, and payer contracts—and rolls them into one total leakage figure. Industry average runs 8 to 12 percent of gross charges; healthy practices stay under 6 percent. This tells you exactly where you land, and why.
What's Inside This Calculator?
One workbook, three tabs: the calculator itself, an analytics dashboard, and a reference guide with the exact eCW navigation path for every number you'll need.
1. Practice Baseline & Charge Capture
- Four baseline numbers—gross charges, expected net revenue, actual collections, and provider count—power every calculation in the workbook
- Unbilled encounters, late charge postings, and voided charges roll up into one charge capture leakage figure
- Every input cell links to the exact eCW report path, Reports > Financial > Charge Summary and beyond
- Auto-calculated cells are locked and color-coded, so there's no guessing what to type where
2. Claims, Denials & A/R
- Clean claim rate, rejection rate, and timely filing write-offs feed a claims submission leakage total
- Denials split by cause—eligibility, prior auth, coding, and timely filing—then net against your actual appeal overturn rate
- A/R ages into five buckets automatically, with 91-plus days flagged as at-risk
- Days in A/R calculates on its own; under 35 is healthy, over 50 signals a systemic problem
3. Patient Collections & Payer Contracts
- Point-of-service collections and post-visit payments get checked against estimated patient responsibility
- Underpayments, fee schedule variance, and lapsed contracts roll into one payer contract leakage number
- An optional payer breakdown shows which of your top five payers is driving the most leakage
- Every leakage category totals into one grand figure, ranked and ready to act on
4. Recovery Targets & Analytics
- Recovery targets default to realistic industry benchmarks, editable for a conservative or optimistic scenario
- The Analytics tab turns every number into a chart: leakage versus recovery, before versus after, ready for a leadership meeting
- A key metrics snapshot surfaces net collection rate, denial rate, ARDO, and bad debt rate in one view
- Save a dated copy every month and watch whether the leakage rate is actually going down
