Improve Medical Accounts Receivable

Collecting What is Owed, sooner
Medical accounts receivable refers to the outstanding reimbursement owed to providers for issued treatments and services, whether the financial responsibility falls to the patient or their insurance company. Healthcare providers must stay on top of efforts to collect reimbursement for accounts receivable. The longer an A/R goes unpaid, the less likely healthcare providers receive payment at all—after 120 days, clinicians can only expect ten cents per dollar owed.

Improving your accounts receivable in healthcare requires active management of your revenue cycle and addressing any process inefficiencies. Dedicating efforts towards optimizing administration, running AR reports, and tracking claims help providers in the healthcare practice recover what otherwise would be lost revenue.

Should aging accounts receivable begin to pile up, providers may wish to investigate outsourcing reimbursement collection to a revenue cycle management (RCM) company like Sagewood Medical Practice Management.

Improve Collection Efficiently,
Reduce A/R Days And Drive-Down Aging Hospital Receivables

The healthcare revenue cycle is fundamental to healthcare providers’ ability to maintain physician compensation, keep up with overhead, and invest in new technologies. When the healthcare revenue cycle is not managed well, collection efficiency drops and accounts receivable (A/R) days increase. Numerous tasks go into the revenue cycle, from collecting insurance and procedure data to preparing claims to billing patients. When any of these processes are inefficient or ineffective, the healthcare revenue cycle is needlessly prolonged.
