Accounts Receivable is a never-ending crisis with all Medical Practitioners and Multi-Specialty hospitals.
As a healthcare provider, you are focused on delivering the best care to your patients. Your staff too is busy coordinating with patients or executing other administrative duties/responsibilities. Who’s looking at the stealthily growing backlog - the rejected and denied claims?
When old Accounts Receivable begin to pile up, you’re concerned but not too much. However, neglect it long enough and it grows into that ugly-headed monster gouging at your cashflow. A surprising number of practitioners are not even aware of how much money they’re leaving on the table!
The older your claims get, the harder and costlier it becomes to collect them. Some practices have over a third of their AR in the “over 90 days aging bucket”. That’s money owed to the provider for services rendered months ago!
How to collect accounts receivable faster?
It’s vital to keep a close watch on your AR reports – not just on what you’re collecting but also which claims are 30, 60, 90, 120 or more days old. Timely intervention and follow-up can improve the collection of aging ARs considerably.

According to the Medical Group Management Association, the benchmark for 120 days old AR is 17.7% (for an average practice). You can do better than the average with the right guidance and assistance.
