How We Measure

Every Number We Publish Has a Definition and a Baseline.

KeyMed Partners is a medical billing and revenue cycle management firm built on a team with 25+ years in accounts receivable. Here is exactly how we define each metric and the baseline it is measured against, so you can compare us like for like.

The Metrics, Defined

25+

Years of accounts-receivable experience

Marketing numbers are easy to inflate, so we do the opposite and show our work.

Defined, not vague

For each metric we state exactly what it measures, in plain terms, before we report a number.

Measured against a baseline

Every figure is compared to a stated baseline, so you can see the real change, not a cherry-picked snapshot.

Compare like for like

We publish the definitions so you can hold KeyMed Partners to the same standard as any other revenue-cycle firm.

Coding Accuracy: 99%

Documented, published

The share of claims coded correctly on review, across 30+ specialties. KeyMed maintains a published 99% coding accuracy rate, four points above the 95% threshold used in industry coding-compliance audits and AHIMA/AAPC coder quality review. Every claim is reviewed and signed off by a CPC or CCS-certified coder (100% reviewed, not sampled), and the rate is tracked and reported regularly so clients can hold KeyMed to it.

Aged-AR Collection Rate: 84%

Documented client result

The share of placed accounts collected. In a documented home-health engagement, KeyMed collected 84% of 375 accounts that had aged to an average of 224 days, $241K in at-risk revenue, with over $200K recovered. This is a real client outcome, not a target; results vary with the age, payer mix, and condition of the AR placed.

Denial Reduction: 50%

Typical result, measured against your baseline

The reduction in denials clients typically reach, measured against their current denial rate, usually within the first 90-120 days and confirmed in quarterly reviews. It is driven by prevention (front-end claim scrubbing against payer-specific edit rules that catches errors before submission) plus root-cause analysis and structured appeals on the denials that remain. Your starting point and your result are documented together in your quarterly review.

Days in AR: ~40% reduction (e.g. 52 to 31)

Measured improvement, vs. your baseline

The average number of days claims remain in accounts receivable. Clients have moved from roughly 52 days to 31, about a 40% reduction and top-quartile against an industry average of roughly 45-50 days (MGMA and HFMA benchmarks put strong performers under 40). Improvement depends on starting AR composition and is reported against your own baseline.

How we talk about numbers

We draw a clear line between two kinds of numbers. A documented result (like the 84% aged-AR collection rate or the published 99% coding accuracy) is something we have already achieved and can show you. A measured improvement (like 50% denial reduction or the move to ~31 days in AR) is what clients typically achieve, always measured against your own starting baseline and confirmed in your quarterly review, never quoted as a guarantee. Every number on this site is one or the other, and we will tell you which.

Methodology FAQs

How does KeyMed measure coding accuracy?

Coding accuracy is the share of claims coded correctly on review. KeyMed maintains a published 99% accuracy rate across 30+ specialties, four points above the 95% industry audit standard, with every claim reviewed and signed off by a CPC or CCS-certified coder. The rate is tracked and reported regularly.

Is the 50% denial reduction a guarantee?

No. It is the reduction clients typically achieve, measured against their current denial rate, usually within the first 90-120 days and confirmed quarterly. It is driven by preventing denials before submission plus root-cause analysis and structured appeals. Your starting baseline and your actual result are documented together in your quarterly review.

What does the 84% collection rate refer to?

It is a documented client result: in a home-health engagement, KeyMed collected 84% of 375 placed accounts that had aged to an average of 224 days, recovering over $200K of $241K in at-risk revenue. It is a real outcome, not a target, and results vary with the age, payer mix, and condition of the AR placed.

Is patient and claim data secure in the AI workflow?

Yes. KeyMed is HIPAA compliant and SOC-attested by an independent auditor, and that coverage extends to the revenue-cycle engine and its processing of protected health information. Every automated action runs under human oversight, with audit logging and defined escalation to our specialists. Patient collections use only first-party data, with no credit-bureau data and no third-party collections.
