AR Follow-Up Services That Reduce Days in Accounts Receivable
Systematic, persistent follow-up on every outstanding claim — so unpaid balances don’t age into uncollectable write-offs.
Aging AR Is Costing Your Practice Real Money — Right Now
Accounts receivable (AR) represents money your practice has already earned but hasn’t yet collected. When AR ages — when outstanding claims sit unpaid for 60, 90, or 120 days — the likelihood of ever collecting that money drops dramatically. After 120 days, many payers apply timely filing rules that can make a claim permanently uncollectable.
For most small and independent practices, AR aging is a slow, invisible problem. Your team submits claims, payments come in for the straightforward ones, and the difficult cases get pushed aside. Over time, those unpaid balances accumulate into a backlog that represents thousands — sometimes tens of thousands — of dollars in earned but uncollected revenue.
FluxCura’s AR follow-up service systematically works every outstanding balance in your accounts receivable, from recent unpaid claims to aged accounts that have been sitting unresolved for months. We contact payers, resolve status issues, correct errors, and collect what your practice is owed.
FluxCura’s AR Follow-Up Process
AR Aging Analysis
We start with a full analysis of your AR aging report — segmenting outstanding claims by payer, age bucket (0–30, 31–60, 61–90, 90+ days), and dollar value. This tells us exactly where to focus first for maximum recovery.
Systematic Payer Contact
Our AR specialists contact payers on a structured schedule — checking claim status, identifying holds or processing delays, and resolving any payer-side issues preventing payment. We document every interaction and track every response.
Denial & Underpayment Resolution
Outstanding claims are often stuck due to a denial, underpayment, or a request for additional information. Our team identifies the specific reason for each unpaid balance and takes the appropriate action — correcting, resubmitting, or appealing as needed.
Patient Balance Follow-Up
For claims involving patient responsibility, we manage patient billing follow-up professionally and respectfully — maximizing collections while maintaining the patient-practice relationship.
AR Reporting
Monthly AR reports show you the status of every outstanding balance, collection rates by payer, and the trend in your overall AR days. You’ll see the progress clearly — and know exactly what remains outstanding and why.
The Real Cost of High AR Days
Days in AR is one of the most important financial metrics for any medical practice. The industry benchmark is 30–40 days. Practices with AR days above 50–60 are typically experiencing significant collections problems — and practices above 90 days are in serious financial trouble.
High AR days mean:
Cash flow strain — money owed to you isn’t in your account, making it harder to cover payroll, rent, and operating costs
Write-off risk — the longer a claim ages, the less likely it is to be collected
Hidden payer problems — consistently slow payers are often flagged through AR analysis, revealing contract or credentialing issues that need resolution
Top-performing RCM partners reduce days in AR by 20–40% within the first 3–6 months. FluxCura’s AR follow-up service is how that improvement happens.
