What is Accounts Receivable (AR) Management?
Our Accounts Receivable Services Include:
AR Aging Analysis:
We conduct thorough analyses of your accounts receivable to identify aged accounts and prioritize collections efforts. We assess overdue payments and categorize them based on the time they’ve been outstanding, allowing us to target the most overdue claims first.
Follow-Up on Unpaid Claims:
Our team follows up with insurance companies and patients on outstanding claims to ensure timely payment. We contact insurance providers to track down the status of claims and resolve any issues or denials that may be causing delays.
Denial Management and Appeal Services:
When claims are denied or rejected, we don’t just accept it. Our team works tirelessly to identify the reason for denial, correct any issues, and submit appeals to ensure your practice is reimbursed for the services rendered.
Patient Payment Follow-Up:
We assist in contacting patients regarding their outstanding balances, providing clear and professional communication to facilitate payment. Our team works with patients to set up payment plans when necessary and ensures that all patient balances are settled in a timely manner.
Payment Posting:
Once payments are received from insurance companies or patients, we post them to the correct accounts to ensure your records are accurate and up to date. We provide detailed reports to ensure transparency and to keep your team informed of payments.
Cash Flow Optimization:
Our AR management services are focused on improving your practice’s cash flow. By proactively managing outstanding balances, we help reduce delays in payments, improve reimbursement rates, and ensure that your practice has the funds it needs to operate efficiently.
Insurance Verification and Eligibility Follow-Up:
We verify insurance information at the point of service and follow up with payers on eligibility issues to prevent delays in claims processing. By ensuring that your claims are submitted accurately and quickly, we reduce the chances of payment delays due to incorrect or outdated patient information.
End-to-End AR Management:
We offer comprehensive, end-to-end AR services that cover everything from claim submission to final payment. Whether it's submitting initial claims or dealing with long-standing unpaid accounts, we manage the entire process to ensure you get paid promptly.
Why is Accounts Receivable Management Important?

Efficient AR management helps ensure timely payments, which improves the overall cash flow of your practice. With proper follow-up, denials are reduced, and reimbursements are processed quickly.

With regular follow-ups and effective collections strategies, we help minimize the number of outstanding claims, ensuring that your practice doesn't accumulate long-term unpaid balances.
Minimizes Denials and Delays:
Proper follow-up and proactive management of claims reduce the risk of denials and delays, ensuring your practice receives accurate reimbursements for all covered services.
