ACCOUNT RECEIVABLE

Tackle Unpaid Claims and Improve Cash Flow with Expert Account Receivable Services

Managing account receivable (AR) is one of the most critical components of your healthcare practice’s financial health. Without efficient account receivable services, practices often struggle with long payment cycles, delayed reimbursements, and growing outstanding balances. At Fort Medical Billing, we specialize in turning your accounts receivable into immediate revenue by handling claims efficiently and ensuring that payments are collected promptly.

What is Account Receivable in Healthcare?

In healthcare, accounts receivable refers to the money owed to your practice by insurance companies, patients, or other entities for services rendered. Managing AR for medical billing can be complex, especially when dealing with denied or delayed claims, patient balances, and follow-ups with insurers. Effective account receivable management ensures that these payments are collected in a timely manner, improving your practice’s cash flow and reducing financial stress.

Our Approach to AR Management

At Fort Medical Billing, we understand the importance of a robust and proactive approach to accounts receivable services. Here’s how we manage your AR and help improve your practice’s financial performance:

1. Detailed AR Analysis

We begin with a comprehensive analysis of your existing account receivables. Our team identifies outstanding claims, categorizes unpaid balances by age, and assesses why payments have been delayed. This analysis forms the foundation for our tailored account receivable solutions that target the most problematic areas of your AR.

2. Timely Follow-Up and Resolution

One of the most common reasons for growing accounts receivable in medical billing is the lack of timely follow-up on outstanding claims. Our team prioritizes immediate and consistent follow-up with both patients and insurance companies, ensuring that your claims are processed and paid as quickly as possible.

3. Denial Management

A large percentage of delayed payments in account receivable services stems from claim denials. We use our expertise to analyze denied claims, correct any errors, and resubmit them promptly. This proactive denial management significantly reduces your outstanding AR and ensures that your practice receives the money it is owed.

4. Reduce Days in AR

One of the key performance metrics for any healthcare provider is days in accounts receivable (Days in AR)—the average number of days it takes to collect payments after services are rendered. A lower Days in AR means faster cash flow and fewer financial bottlenecks. At Fort Medical Billing, we focus on reducing your days in AR by ensuring faster collections and minimizing delays in the payment process.

The Impact of Poor AR Management

Inefficient management of account receivable in medical billing can have severe consequences for your practice. Without a solid AR strategy, you may experience:

  • Increased Financial Pressure: Delayed payments strain your practice’s finances, making it difficult to cover operational costs or invest in growth.

  • Decreased Cash Flow: When accounts receivable are not collected promptly, your practice’s cash flow is impacted, making it harder to maintain day-to-day operations.

  • Higher Denial Rates: Inadequate follow-up on unpaid claims can result in higher denial rates, further delaying payments and creating additional administrative burdens.
