AR Collection
Accelerate Your Cash Flow With Dedicated AR Collection Management
Accounts receivable represents money you have already earned: services provided, documented, coded, and submitted. Yet many practices watch balances age past 60 or 90 days, losing value with every passing week.
B3CARE keeps receivables moving. Our follow-up specialists work open claims systematically by payer, aging bucket, and priority so nothing slips through the cracks.

Why AR Ages
What drives up days in AR, and how B3CARE reduces them.
Aging receivables usually come from claim stalls, payer bottlenecks, missing documentation, weak follow-up cadence, or unmonitored patient balances. We turn those into daily work queues.
Claims submitted without required attachments
B3CARE validates documentation requirements and payer-specific attachment needs before claims age unnecessarily.
Unworked aging buckets
We follow up on open claims before they sit untouched and drift into 60, 90, or 120-day aging categories.
Payer-specific bottlenecks
Our team uses payer portals, clearinghouse status, phone follow-up, and payer-specific escalation paths.
Lack of real-time claim monitoring
We track claim status daily through payer portals and clearinghouses so stalled claims are identified quickly.
Timely filing limit risks
Claims approaching payer deadlines are flagged for immediate action before preventable write-offs occur.
AR Collection Workflow
Systematic follow-up by payer, aging bucket, and priority.
B3CARE works AR before it becomes old AR. Every claim has a next action, a payer status, and a documented follow-up path.
Daily claim status monitoring
Automated and manual review of submitted claims, payer acknowledgements, rejections, and adjudication status.
30-day follow-up trigger
Every claim outstanding at 30 days receives direct payer contact or documented payer-status review.
60-day escalation
Unresolved claims escalate to senior follow-up specialists for deeper payer review and next-step action.
90-day review
Claims at 90 days are reviewed for appeal, documentation recovery, patient responsibility, or write-off appropriateness.
Patient AR follow-up
Patient statements, balance review, payment plan coordination, and collection referral workflows are managed with clarity.
Aging Buckets
Every aging bucket needs a different follow-up strategy.
We prioritize by payer behavior, dollar value, claim age, timely filing limits, denial risk, and patient balance responsibility.
0-30 days
Monitor acceptance, payer acknowledgements, and early rejection patterns.
31-60 days
Begin payer follow-up, correct stalled claims, and document payer responses.
61-90 days
Escalate unresolved claims, review documentation, and identify denial or appeal paths.
91-120+ days
Prioritize high-value claims, appeal opportunities, timely filing risk, and write-off review.

AR FAQs
Common questions about medical AR collection.
What is AR collection in medical billing?+
AR collection is the process of tracking unpaid payer and patient balances, following up on outstanding claims, resolving payer issues, posting responses, and preventing aging balances from becoming write-offs.
How can B3CARE reduce days in AR?+
B3CARE reduces days in AR through daily claim monitoring, 30-day payer follow-up triggers, escalation for unresolved claims, patient balance workflows, timely filing alerts, and payer-specific resolution strategies.
What is the difference between AR collection and AR recovery?+
AR collection focuses on active outstanding claims and balances before they become severely aged. AR recovery focuses on older, denied, ignored, or written-off claims that need deeper investigation and recovery work.
