Clean Claim Rate (CCR) is the percentage of claims that pass payer or clearinghouse edits and get accepted for processing on the first submission no manual correction, no rejection, no rework. It's one of the clearest signals of how well a revenue cycle is actually working, because it reflects everything upstream of the claim: eligibility, authorization, documentation, and coding.

Reactive. Heavy rework cycle with manual work.
Proactive. Catch errors before they leave.
