The Situation

The Challenges

What was holding this practice back at onboarding.

Over 70% of total A/R sitting past the 90-day mark

A heavy concentration of aged receivables creating significant collection risk

Little visibility into how much of total A/R reflected fresh, recently billed claims versus a growing backlog

The Approach

Onboarding and Revenue Cycle Stabilization

What Billed Right implemented to bring the aged receivables backlog under control.

  1. Reviewed the full accounts receivable inventory and triaged claims by age, payer, and dollar value
  2. Worked the aged backlog systematically, prioritizing the highest-risk claims first
  3. Corrected underlying billing and workflow issues contributing to the backlog
  4. Established an ongoing reporting cadence so leadership could track A/R composition over time
