Our Old AR recovery specialists, with years of experience in the industry, know just how to collect on old accounts. Our teams are trained on accounts receivable tips and techniques to maximize collection for your practice.

Step 1

Aging Report Access

The first task is to get access to your Practice Management System to run the Old AR report. Or, the practice can provide the Old AR report in a spreadsheet.

Step 2

Claims prioritization for follow-up

The report data is analyzed with respect to payer-wise filing limit and aging-based high-dollar claim value.
The claims with high charges are prioritized in each age bucket. Those claims are followed up with the required payer first. The same process is applied for all the age buckets (180+, 150, 90, 60 and 30).
Claims that are nearing the filing or appeal limit are also flagged for immediate action.

Step 3

Analysis and resubmission

The old ARs are processed by our technology solution. We get real-time claim status for all major insurance companies including Aetna, BCBS, UHC, Cigna, etc., irrespective of the number of claims.
The outstanding AR is analyzed to understand the reason for claim denial or rejection - an incorrect code, documentation problem, etc. The error or discrepancy is rectified, and the claim is resubmitted to the payer.
Resubmissions are followed up aggressively by our trained staff.

Step 4

Cash Posting

Once the payment for a claim is received, it is posted into the patient’s account to balance the outstanding collectable.

Step 5

Patient Statement Generation

In case there is any patient responsibility as per the EOB, that portion is transferred to the patient bucket.
The statement is processed as per the practice protocol in the revenue management software.

Step 6

Tailored Reporting

We provide customized reports for the hospital or practice, showing the status of each claim.
The reports provide clarity to the providers, setting the expectations on collections and timelines, what claims are non-collectable and why, root cause analysis, and so forth.

Step 7
