Revenue cycle metrics
Per-visit yield
Collected revenue divided by encounters, tracked by provider.
What it means in dermatology
Also known as: Revenue per encounter
In dermatology this is the metric that exposes documentation and coding differences between providers seeing similar patients — the gap almost always traces to E/M leveling, missed lesion counts, or unbilled same-day procedures.
It should be compared within provider over time first, and between providers only after case mix has been accounted for.
Why it matters to your revenue
A persistent gap between two providers with the same schedule is unbilled work, not a personality difference.
