Read the result in context.
- The five buckets must represent the entire selected billed-A/R population. Compare the total with your source report before interpreting it.
- A growing older share may reflect older balances increasing, newer balances decreasing, or both. Compare dollars and percentages.
- The tool applies no universal red/green benchmark. Review payer mix, reason open, deadlines and account history inside approved systems.
