About This Automation

Provider bonus calculation requires finance staff to manually gather production data from multiple systems, extract metrics into spreadsheets, and apply complex formulas. Manual entry and formula errors create delays and require extensive verification before approval.

Automation pulls data directly from practice management and accounting systems, applies bonus logic automatically, and flags anomalies for review. Bonuses are calculated, verified, and ready for approval in hours instead of days.

Key features:

Extract production and revenue data automatically from practice management systems

Retrieve accounting adjustments and write-offs from accounting software in real time

Apply bonus formulas and performance adjustments without manual cell references

Detect calculation anomalies and flag outliers before approval

Generate audit trail showing all data sources and formula logic

Prepare bonus notifications ready to send to providers

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Bonus Period Closedtrigger

Automation is triggered when the bonus period end date arrives or when a user manually initiates the bonus run. The system checks that production data is finalized in the practice management system.

2. Extract Production Data

The automation pulls production reports, revenue, patient metrics, and quality data directly from the practice management system via API. No manual export or download is needed.

3. Retrieve Accounting Adjustments

The automation queries for accounts receivable aging, write-offs, and any bonus-related adjustments for the period. Data is retrieved programmatically without manual lookup.

4. Calculate Bonuses

The automation applies bonus formulas consistently to each provider using the extracted data. Calculations include base bonus, performance adjustments, and deductions according to the configured rules.

5. Flag Exceptions

The automation identifies any bonuses outside expected ranges, missing data, or formula errors and flags them for human review. A summary report is generated.

6. Store Results

The calculated bonuses are written workbook with full audit trail, including timestamps and data sources. The sheet is formatted and ready for review.

7. Notify

A notification is sent to the finance team and practice manager with a summary of bonuses, any flagged exceptions, and a link to the results sheet for approval.
