Benchmarking & Insights
How does your vein practice’s performance compare with its peers? HPS benchmarking brings together network insights and athenahealth performance data to help independent practices assess procedure volume, reimbursement trends, payer mix, billing performance, and operational efficiency. Use those comparisons to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement.

HPS benchmarking may include insights such as:
Procedure volume
Reimbursement trends
Payer mix
Billing and collections performance
Denials and revenue cycle trends
Scheduling efficiency
Patient access and conversion
Operational productivity
Clinical service utilization
Practice growth trends over time
Together, these metrics help practices better understand where they are performing well, where gaps may exist, and where new opportunities for improvement can be found.
“The idea of sharing information from practices that have been very successful… gives you confidence that what they’re telling you, you can implement because it’s being done by many people who’ve been successful.”
Dr. Mark Garcia — EndoVascular Consultants
Many independent practices make important business decisions without a clear view of how their performance compares to similar practices. Without benchmarking, it can be difficult to know whether a challenge is isolated, industry-wide, or tied to an internal process that can be improved.
HPS gives practices the visibility needed to move beyond guesswork. By comparing performance against peers within the HPS network and vein clinics nationwide, members can clearly see where they stand and identify what best-in-class performance looks like.
This helps validate what is working while also highlighting areas that may need attention, including reimbursement gaps, underutilized services, missed scheduling opportunities, or operational inefficiencies.
Through athenahealth data and network-wide performance insights, HPS helps practices turn raw information into meaningful business intelligence.
Rather than simply reviewing reports, members gain a deeper understanding of the story behind the numbers. Performance data can reveal trends in procedure volume, payer behavior, reimbursement patterns, appointment flow, and revenue cycle performance.
These insights allow practices to make more informed decisions across billing, scheduling, staffing, clinical operations, and financial strategy.
Consistent reporting and benchmarking equip practices with actionable insights they can use to improve performance. By leveraging the collective data of the HPS network, members can identify proven strategies, adopt best practices, and make adjustments based on real-world results.
Benchmarking helps practices answer important questions, such as:
Are we maximizing procedure volume?
Are our reimbursement rates aligned with network benchmarks?
Are denials or payer issues affecting profitability?
Are we converting patient demand into scheduled procedures?
Are our operational workflows supporting growth?
Where do we have the greatest opportunity to improve?
With this level of visibility, practices can make smarter decisions, strengthen financial performance, improve operational efficiency, and build a more sustainable path for long-term growth.
“There is not an iota of doubt in my mind that I would join HPS… it’s all the data sharing with people that are in the same boat as you are.”
