A/R recovery

A/R Recovery Services and Aged Claims Follow-Up

Unpaid claims do not resolve themselves. We work your insurance A/R by age, value and deadline, and follow up with payers until each claim is paid, corrected or appealed.

Ways we can help

  • One-time aged A/R cleanup
  • Ongoing A/R follow-up
  • Payer escalation
  • Filing-limit tracking
  • Write-off review with your approval

The problem

Why A/R keeps growing

A/R grows when follow-up falls behind. The older a claim gets, the harder it is to collect.

No time for follow-up

Staff work new claims first, so older balances are never touched.

Missed deadlines

Claims pass timely filing or appeal limits and become uncollectable.

Prioritization

How we decide what to work first

A/R bucketTypical focus
0–30 daysConfirm acknowledgment and processing; fix rejections immediately
31–60 daysStatus checks on unpaid claims; resolve requests for information
61–90 daysEscalate with payers; corrected claims and reconsiderations

Within each bucket, higher-value claims and claims closest to a filing or appeal deadline are worked first.

Process

Our A/R recovery process

Analyze

We break down your A/R by payer, age and reason.

Prioritize

Claims are ranked by value and how close they are to a deadline.

Follow up

Payers are contacted and each claim is corrected, appealed or escalated.

Resolve

Claims are closed as paid, adjusted or written off with your approval.

Why it matters

Why structured A/R follow-up matters

Cash from old claims

Revenue that was sitting in aged A/R has a path back to the practice.

Deadlines protected

Filing and appeal limits are tracked instead of discovered too late.

An accurate A/R report

Your A/R reflects what is truly collectable.

FAQ

A/R Recovery Services and Aged Claims Follow-Up: common questions

Can you clean up old A/R from a previous billing company?

Yes. A/R cleanup is often a separate project. We review what is still collectable based on payer deadlines and documentation, and work those claims first.

Will you write off balances without asking?

No. Write-off recommendations are documented and shared with you for approval.

Do you handle patient balances?

A/R recovery focuses on insurance balances. Patient balance handling depends on your practice’s policies and can be discussed during the review.
