When accounts receivable (A/R) exceed 90 days, it often signals inefficiencies in the revenue cycle.
Dermatology practices can reduce aging A/R by implementing a few key strategies:
- Verify insurance eligibility before the visit
- Collect co-pays and balances at check-in
- Submit claims within 24–48 hours of the visit
- Monitor claim status regularly
- Follow up quickly on denied or unpaid claims
Consistent claim follow-up is critical. The longer a balance sits unresolved, the less likely it is to be collected.
Working with an experienced dermatology medical billing company ensures claims are actively monitored and patient balances are addressed promptly. Strong A/R management helps practices maintain steady cash flow and financial stability.
