Get your Accounts Receivable back on track to increase your revenue, create more efficiency for your billing team, and improve patient relationships!
Maintaining a healthy Accounts Receivable (AR) is an essential practice system that can often be overlooked and mismanaged. Abnormally high and/or increasing AR balances create many accounting, cash flow and collections obstacles for practices. As these balances continue to age, they become more difficult to collect from both third party payors and from patients.
The results of a mismanaged AR include not only a decrease of cash flow for a practice but also loss in earned income, potential payor relations issues such as audits and denials, as well as possible negative impacts to the relationship between the practice and patient.
Efficient Accounts Receivable systems is part of the professional responsibility that practices have to third party payors and to patients. However, many practices find uncertainty and disorganization with these systems such as:
- How to audit an account if the patient and/or insurance balance is unknown
- How to implement patient billing systems that are effective and consistent
- When and how to follow up on unpaid third party claims
- When and how to determine if a balance is uncollectable
- How to read EOB’s (Explanation of Benefits) to ensure correct processing and/or payment
- How to appeal claims that you believe should have been covered
- How to time manage these critical AR systems to ensure they’re performed on a regular basis
- How to identify the source(s) of AR issues and implement protocol for improvement
- Where to start and what to do first when faced with a large and growing Accounts Receivable
