Aging AR is Dying Revenue — We Recover It Before It's Gone Forever

Every dollar in your AR report over 30 days is at risk. At 90 days, collection probability drops dramatically. At 120 days, most payers consider it timely filing expired. Our aggressive AR follow-up team works every aging bucket with a data-driven recovery strategy.

What We Do

Our AR team works from a prioritized claim work queue — organized by aging bucket, dollar amount, payer type, and denial reason. We apply a strategic priority matrix that maximizes recovery per hour while ensuring no claim ages out of timely filing.

For each aging claim, our specialists contact the payer via direct phone call, online portal inquiry, or secure messaging — depending on the fastest available channel. We document every contact attempt, response, and action taken. We don't accept "in process" when a claim has been pending beyond adjudication timeframes.

Our aging bucket strategy: 0-30 days — monitor for ERA/EOB receipt. 31-60 days — first active follow-up. 61-90 days — escalated follow-up and investigation. 91-120 days — priority escalation with supervisor-level contact. 120+ days — final demand with timely filing documentation.

When a payer places a claim in "pending" requesting additional documentation, our team coordinates with your clinical staff to obtain and submit required documents within the payer's timeframe. When claims were denied due to billing errors, we correct and resubmit as corrected claims (frequency code 7).

When a payer repeatedly delays or incorrectly denies legitimate claims, we escalate through formal channels — including payer grievance processes, state insurance department complaints, and CMS complaint filings for Medicare/Medicaid issues.
