Introduction: The Impact of Aged Accounts Receivable (AR) in Healthcare
Did you know that over 30% of healthcare providers face significant cash flow issues due to aging AR? This not only impacts revenue but also delays critical patient care. Aged Accounts Receivable (AR) is one of the most significant financial challenges for healthcare providers, leading to delayed payments, operational inefficiencies, and cash flow disruptions.
What We Did: Our Comprehensive Multi-Step Approach to Resolving Aged AR
1. In-Depth AR Backlog Review
We began by auditing the client’s aged AR, categorizing claims by payer, type, and reasons for delays. This helped us identify the areas that needed immediate attention.
Outcome: We pinpointed high-priority claims, focusing efforts where they would have the greatest impact.
2. Strategic Payer Communication
A proactive follow-up strategy was implemented with insurance payers to resolve discrepancies, expedite approvals, and appeal denied claims.
Outcome: All claims were resolved swiftly, helping improve the client’s cash flow and reduce aged AR.
3. Enhanced Denial Management – Not Limited to Denials Alone; Applicable Across All Processes, Powered by Rev A.I.
By leveraging advanced denial management systems like RevShield AI, we proactively identified denial trends and root causes early in the cycle—resulting in reduced rejection rates and enhanced claim accuracy.
Outcome: A significantly streamlined claims process with a measurable decline in denial rates.
4. Technology Integration to Improve Workflow Efficiency
Integrating RevShield AI and Code Flow A.I. streamlined repetitive tasks and reduced human error. This speeded up claim processing, improving overall efficiency.
Outcome: Faster resolution times, fewer errors, and greater operational efficiency.
5. Custom Training & Workflow Optimization
We trained the client’s billing team on best practices for AR management and optimized their workflows. This empowered their team to continue managing AR more effectively long after our intervention.
Outcome: Sustained improvements in AR management, ensuring continued success.
The Results: Significant Improvement in Aged AR Within 60 Days
Within a short period, we achieved a notable reduction in the client’s aged AR, leading to significant improvements in cash flow. This progress enabled the client to optimize operations, enhance patient care, and foster greater financial stability.
Before:
- Aged AR was significantly overdue
- A large portion of claims remained unresolved, impacting the overall AR
- Many claims were well beyond the standard payment timeframe
After 60 Days:
- A significant reduction in overdue aged AR
- A considerable decrease in claims that were overdue for extended periods
- The majority of unresolved claims were cleared, leading to a more streamlined AR process
