Hospital Accounts Receivable (AR) Management
Convert ageing claims into collected cash — systematically, by insurer, by TPA, by claim.
AR ageing is the single most expensive metric on a hospital's finance dashboard. Every claim that crosses 60 days drops in collectability, every claim past 90 days starts attracting write-offs, and every aged claim represents working capital your hospital has lent the insurer interest-free. Our AR Management service is a disciplined, dedicated, daily follow-up operation that pulls claims forward through the ageing buckets and converts them into cash on your books.
Where Hospitals Lose Revenue
Most hospital AR problems share a small set of root causes:
Reactive follow-up
Claims are chased only when a query lands or a payment is missed, not proactively.
No ageing discipline
0–30, 31–60, 61–90 and 90+ buckets are not separately worked, so older claims slip further.
Insurer-agnostic process
The same generic follow-up template is used for every payer, ignoring TPA-specific escalation rules.
Lost ownership
Claims handed across shifts, teams or systems lose continuity — no one knows the latest insurer response.
Missing escalation matrix
Escalations stall at the first insurer email; no defined ladder up to TPA grievance, regulator or legal.
Unposted payments
Payments arrive but are not posted against claims, so AR appears worse than it is.
Write-off without justification
Aged AR gets written off without root-cause review, hiding patterns that would otherwise be fixable.
Disciplined AR management turns all of these around — and routinely shifts 15–35% of aged AR from 'unrealisable' back into collected cash.
A Dedicated AR Pod Working Your Ageing Buckets Every Day
We deploy a dedicated AR analyst team — sized to your claim volume and AR profile — that works your ageing buckets every business day. Each analyst owns a defined slice (by insurer, by TPA or by ageing bucket), so continuity is preserved and insurer relationships build up over time.
Every claim in AR is tagged with its current status, last action date, next action date, owner and escalation level. Our workflow tooling enforces SLA timers: if a query response is overdue, it escalates. If an insurer commitment is missed, it escalates. If an aged claim crosses a bucket boundary, it gets a senior reviewer.
For each insurer and TPA we maintain a documented escalation ladder — from claims processor, to team lead, to TPA grievance, to insurer ombudsman where warranted. Aged AR (90+) gets a senior recovery specialist with deeper case-by-case work: re-submitting with supplementary documentation, framing medical-necessity letters, and pursuing partial settlements where appropriate.
Your finance team gets a real-time AR dashboard: ageing buckets, recovery rate by bucket, insurer-wise outstanding, TPA-wise outstanding, recovery forecast and the list of claims contributing the most to ageing — all visible without a phone call to your billing team.
