Understanding your insurance reports

The Analytics Reports tab offers several reports related to insurance billing. Understanding what information is included in each report will allow you to leverage the insurance data present in your account, to improve the experience of claim filing and receiving reimbursement from insurance payers. Each report can be downloaded as a CSV or Excel file, allowing you to easily review or print as needed.

In this guide, we’ll cover the following reports:
