Accounts Receivable (A/R) Management is a vital component of any healthcare provider’s overall financial health. Billing teams often feel buried under a never ending avalanche of claims. Take back the time you’ve invested in unworkable claims and focus your efforts on only those that are truly actionable. Our software captures, isolates, and prioritizes claims to close your high risk, high dollar claims and omit claims that are in process or uncollectible for a clean and clear AR balance.

The Common Challenges Laboratories Face With The Accounts Receivable Process

Accounts receivable, without a doubt, is one of the most demanding functions in any healthcare facility. Without the proper skill, knowledge, and defined system of operations, the accounts receivable process can result in a few challenges, which can significantly impact your cash flow:

Insurance Claim Denials

One of the most common AR problems is insurance claim denials. Collecting payments from insurance providers can be a very complicated process, especially when they deny insurance claims for a myriad of reasons, ranging from claims not being filed on time, coding errors, or services provided being deemed as unnecessary. Whatever the reason for the denial, outstanding payments and not appealing denied claims are lost opportunities that will negatively affect your cash flow.

Unnecessary Write-Offs

Write-offs, no matter how inconsequential they seem, will accumulate and affect your bottom line. No matter the reason for the write-offs, your facility may be writing-off money that could have been recovered with a more efficient AR management system. For instance, most patients – if given the opportunity – would be willing to work with you to reduce their balance. Allowing all these unpaid charges to simply fall through the cracks is like flushing money down the drain. 

Bad Debt

More than a quarter of the healthcare industry’s revenue is the responsibility of the patient. Higher deductibles and the rising cost of healthcare have increased the financial burden on patients, making it more difficult for medical facilities to collect due payments. This often results in unwanted write-offs, rising bad debt, and loss of revenue.

Collections Culture

Healthcare professionals do their jobs to help patients, not to collect money from them. And while you are equipped to provide excellent patient care, collecting payments may not be your cup of tea. However, getting paid is crucial to maintaining a successful facility and providing quality care to patients. Failure to manage a sound collection culture can impact your cash flow too.
