Aged Medical Accounts Receivable Recovery
Older medical receivables need claim-level triage. Some accounts have a viable documentation or appeal path; others do not. We identify the work that can reasonably be pursued before promising a recovery program. Typical issues include expired timely filing windows, incomplete appeal documentation, payer non-response, and balances that were never segmented by viability.
What the engagement can include.
Each service is agreed in writing based on your practice's actual needs and systems.
- A/R aging segmentation and outstanding balance review
- Claim history and payer-response reconstruction
- Appeal and filing eligibility assessment
- Payer follow-up and exception worklists
- Progress reporting and account disposition documentation
- Closure reason tracking for non-viable balances
- Prioritization of accounts with remaining appeal or correction paths
- Documentation of why certain balances are no longer viable
Frequently asked questions.
Do you guarantee recovery of old claims?
No. Eligibility, filing restrictions, payment obligations and documentation determine whether a claim can be pursued successfully.
What do we need to share for an initial review?
An aggregate A/R aging report, primary payer mix, and a short note on how the balances were previously worked. No patient-level records are required on the public form.
Can this be a project rather than ongoing billing?
Yes. Aged A/R recovery is frequently scoped as a defined project focused on a specific aging cohort.
