Guidelines for Reviewing your Billing Manager’s 
Performance
Billing Managers performance goals and objectives to elevate job satisfaction and productivity. Billing 
Manager SMART goals to achieve success! Conducting performance analysis has been an age-old practice by 
many businesses worldwide. However, we come across many such physicians, solo and group practices, who 
do not feel the need to have any assessment and review done for their billing or accounts manager’s job. This 
can give rise to many of the following problems that are experienced:
• A billing manager does not have his/her clear statement of criteria for performance. In such situations, the 
billing manager puts forth criteria that seem good enough for the entire billing team. The problem is, there 
may be some area that needs the physician’s attention, which is many a time neglected. This results in a 
lack of oversight regarding billing and collection activities- which is the main lifeline of the practice.
• Secondly, a physician does not have any clear idea of the manager’s job. For instance, we have seen 
physicians who reviewed their EHR without any consent and involvement of the billing manager. The 
possible integration of the EHR systems into the A/R system coveys a high priority in the investigation. 
Hence the billing manager should be a part of the study even if he’s not heading it.

Many a time, the physician’s attitude is, as long as the practice is performing well, the billing manager is 
assumed to be functioning properly. But when this is not the case, it is likely that the physician will put the 
blame on the billing manager. In group practices, it is seen that different medical physicians have different 
interpretations regarding the manager’s performance.
The First Important Step
Are all of the billing guidelines relevant to your billing manager’s position? Both practice physicians, as well as 
the billing manager, should spend time reviewing the guidelines.  For instance, in many smaller practices, the 
billing manager does an annual budget. Again, some smaller-practice managers are very much intricate in 
negotiating with managed care plans. And in a few practices, a part-time bookkeeper or even a practice 
owner’s spouse, has the accounts payable work being done. Therefore the guidelines should be modified, as 
seen fit for your practice.

The Advantage For Billing Managers
Billing managers will find this type of evaluation very useful for their work. First, they can get a better picture 
of goals related to each of the many tasks in the manager’s job. Second, these guidelines can be used for self-
evaluation. Third, they can feel comfortable that their physician bosses will use the same criteria in evaluating 
the manager’s performance.
Physicians Involvement
Practitioners and hospitals should closely review and learn the guidelines. Then, in concurrence with the billing 
manager, they should modify any of the required guidelines for their practice. Once that agreement has been 
negotiated, it would probably be feasible to consider an initial evaluation in three to four months. 
Subsequently, it could be done annually.

Physician Involvement in the Manager’s Review
In any group practice, every physician should be provided with an evaluation form to review. In group 
practices, one physician should be the adviser of these evaluations. The purpose of the review is not to 
provide a progress card. Rather it is, first, to understand those tasks that are “meeting goals” and “better than 
goals.” These merits are acknowledged and commended to the manager. Lastly, notable attention should be 
addressed to any tasks not meeting the goals. These things need a very close study. The physician should aim 
for answers to help solve the low-performance tasks.
