Dialysis Days Sales Outstanding measures U.S. dialysis receivables as days of revenue under DaVita's recent-quarter methodology.
DaVita reported 49 days of DSO in its 2025 disclosures.
Forty-nine days equals about 13.4% of a year
Dividing 49 by 365 gives approximately 13.4%.
That provides a simple working-capital scale check for how much annual-revenue time is represented by receivables.
DSO should be read with reimbursement mix
Government and commercial claims can have different billing, adjudication, and collection patterns.
Use Dialysis Commercial Revenue Mix and Dialysis Government Revenue Mix to keep collections timing separate from payer economics.
DSO is not a reimbursement-rate metric
Claims processing, denials, cyber incidents, payment timing, and receivable mix can move DSO even when reimbursement per treatment is unchanged.
It measures collection timing rather than pricing.
