Accounts Receivable (A/R) Assistance for Medical Billing
Maximize Cash Flow & Reduce Outstanding Balances with Expert A/R Management
Accounts Receivable (A/R) management is the backbone of a financially healthy medical practice. Without a strategic approach to claim tracking, denial management, and collections, cash flow issues can quickly spiral out of control.
At Access1 Business Services, we help healthcare providers streamline A/R processes, reduce aging claims, and improve reimbursement rates—so you can focus on patient care without financial setbacks.
Why Accounts Receivable (A/R) Management Matters
Did you know that 65% of denied claims are never reworked, leading to lost revenue? Delayed payments and aging A/R can cripple your cash flow, impacting your ability to run a smooth and profitable practice.
With Access1’s A/R Assistance, you get:
✔ Faster claim reimbursements
✔ Reduced claim denials & rejections
✔ Proactive tracking & follow-ups
✔ Improved patient collections
✔ Technology-driven A/R optimization
Key Strategies to Improve A/R in Medical Billing
Optimize Patient Information & Claims
Accurate data entry and proper verification prevent costly claim rejections and delays.
✔ Verify patient information at every visit to avoid billing errors
✔ Submit clean claims with a 95%+ accuracy rate for faster reimbursements
✔ Double-check insurance details before submission to reduce denials
Tip: A clean claims rate = (Number of clean claims / Total claims submitted) x 100. Aim for 95% or higher!
Streamline Payment Processes for Faster Collections
Complicated payment processes lead to unpaid balances. We simplify payments for patients and providers.
✔ Automate patient statements & reminders via email and text
✔ Offer multiple payment options (credit/debit, online payments, QR codes)
✔ Reduce manual efforts by integrating automated payment systems
Tip: Adding QR codes on paper statements makes online payments easier for patients!
Implement A/R Tracking & Follow-up Protocols
Tracking and categorizing A/R ensures timely follow-ups and faster recovery of outstanding balances.
✔ Categorize aging A/R into buckets (30, 60, 90+ days)
✔ Prioritize the 90+ day claims to recover long-outstanding revenue
✔ Monitor denial rates to keep them below 5%
Key metric: Denial rate = (Number of denied claims / Total claims submitted) x 100. Keep it under 5%!
Establish Clear Collection Protocols
A structured, written collections process improves both internal workflows and patient communication.
✔ Define when and how to follow up on unpaid balances
✔ Train staff to handle patient financial conversations professionally
✔ Implement consistent communication to enhance cash flow
Tip: Clear protocols lead to fewer unpaid balances and fewer disputes!
Leverage Technology for A/R Optimization
Using the right RCM and billing technology reduces manual effort and improves efficiency.
✔ Electronic claim submissions minimize errors
✔ Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) speeds up reimbursements
✔ AI-driven tracking ensures no claim gets lost in the process
Tip: Implementing automated denial management can cut down A/R days by 30% or more!
