You can now keep your physicians up-to-date on their practice performance with Kareo's new performance reports delivered automatically by email on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. It reports both practice and/or provider-specific key indicators including patients, encounters, charges, payments, A/R balance, and days revenue outstanding. You can delay the delivery of the reports by a configurable number of days after the end of a period (i.e. 10th day after the end of the month). You can also carbon copy (CC) one or more recipients to receive copies of the report. To start receiving email reports, you activate each provider on the system by selecting the menu item Settings > Providers, then opening a Provider record and clicking on the Provider Performance Report tab to configure your settings. The emails are delivered between midnight and 3am Pacific Time on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

At Kareo, we're focused on getting physicians paid quickly. That's why we have introduced a single number to help you measure and improve the health of your practice. We call it Payment Velocity and it measures how fast you get paid from patients and insurance companies. You can now view your Payment Velocity benchmarked on your Practice Home dashboard against the best Payment Velocity across the Kareo community. If you'd like to learn more about Payment Velocity, please visit the Kareo website.
