Aging A/R Is Quietly Draining Your Practice

Every claim sitting in your aging buckets is revenue you have already earned but not collected. The longer it sits, the harder it becomes to recover.

  • 50+ days

    is the average A/R turnaround for practices without dedicated follow-up. CureMed clients average under 28 days.

  • 65%

    of claims over 90 days old are never recovered because practices lack the staff or systems to pursue them consistently.

  • $50K to $200K+

    in recoverable revenue is sitting in aging A/R for the average mid-size practice at any given time.

Aging A/R does not fix itself. Without systematic follow-up, recoverable claims age past timely filing limits and become permanent write-offs. CureMed ensures every claim gets pursued before that window closes.

How CureMed A/R Recovery Works

A structured recovery process that prioritizes high-value claims, resolves payer disputes, and closes aging balances systematically.

  1. 01

    A/R Assessment & Prioritization

    We analyze your full aging report, categorize claims by payer, age, and dollar amount, and prioritize recovery by highest-impact opportunities first.

  2. 02

    Payer Follow-Up & Dispute Resolution

    Our team contacts payers directly to resolve unpaid claims, correct denials, and escalate disputes through the appropriate channels.

  3. 03

    Appeal Submission

    Denied or underpaid claims are appealed with supporting clinical documentation, corrected coding, and payer-specific appeal formats.

  4. 04

    Patient Balance Resolution

    Patient-owed balances are pursued through clear statements, payment plan offers, and compassionate outreach that protects your practice's reputation.

  5. 05

    Reporting & Prevention

    Weekly recovery reports track progress by aging bucket and payer. Root cause analysis feeds back into your billing workflow to prevent future A/R buildup.

Most practices see measurable A/R reduction within the first 30 days of engagement.

What We Work On

Six kinds of stuck AR we chase down

Not every aged claim is the same. This is what our recovery team goes after, and what we usually find.

Denied claims

Denials that never got appealed. We categorise by reason code, correct the underlying issue, and file appeals with proper documentation.

Aged AR past 90 days

Claims sitting past 90 days without a status update. Most just need someone to call the payer, escalate, and push.

Timely filing appeals

Claims denied for timely filing that actually have valid extensions or good cause. We know how to document and appeal these.

Underpayments

Payers routinely pay less than contracted rates. We compare payments against your fee schedule and appeal the shortfall.

Missing EOBs

Claims that were paid but never posted because the ERA or EOB got lost. Money already sent, hiding in unmatched deposits.

Secondary balances

Primary paid, secondary never billed. We work the coordination of benefits and collect the remaining amount.

Our Recovery Process

How we work stuck claims

Not bots dialling payers. Specialists who know appeals, timely filing exceptions, and how to escalate when the first rep says no.

  1. Step 01

    AR audit

    We pull your aged AR report and categorise every claim by age, payer, denial reason, and dollar value. Highest value claims get worked first.

  2. Step 02

    Triage and prioritise

    Some claims are truly dead. Most are not. We identify the ones with real recovery potential and build appeals with documentation.

  3. Step 03

    Work and follow up

    Appeals filed, payer calls made, escalations pushed. Weekly follow-up until the claim is paid or exhausted. No claim forgotten.

  4. Step 04

    Report and repeat

    Weekly recovery report showing dollars collected, appeals filed, and what is still in progress. Transparent tracking, no surprises.
