QUESTION: Do you have any national benchmarks for the average number of days outstanding for accounts receivables?

ANSWER: For claims that are submitted to insurance, our benchmark for the 25th through the 75th percentiles for general ophthalmology practices is 25 to 40 days. For practices that do a significant volume of pre-paid services such as refractive or cosmetic surgery, the days in A/R can be less than 20, because those procedures have zero days in A/R and that lowers the figure for the overall accounts receivable.

Practices that perform high numbers of intraocular injections may find that their days in A/R exceed 40 due to slow payment on some of the injectable drugs. We also have seen an increase in outstanding accounts receivable during difficult economic times or national crisis.
