Stop Leaving Earned Revenue Sitting in A/R
CureMed's A/R recovery team systematically works your aging claims, resolves payer disputes, and recovers revenue that has been sitting unpaid. Every dollar you earned deserves to be collected.
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.

Payer Follow-Up & Dispute Resolution

- 03
Appeal Submission
Denied or underpaid claims are appealed with supporting clinical documentation, corrected coding, and payer-specific appeal formats.
- 04
Patient Balance Resolution
Patient-owed balances are pursued through clear statements, payment plan offers, and compassionate outreach that protects your practice's reputation.

Old does not mean dead, not yet
Recovery rate on aged AR by age bucket. These are our own numbers across active client work.
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.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Step 04
Report and repeat
Weekly recovery report showing dollars collected, appeals filed, and what is still in progress. Transparent tracking, no surprises.
