What Is A/R Recovery in Medical Billing?

A/R (Accounts Receivable) recovery refers to the process of collecting unpaid or delayed reimbursements from insurance companies and patients. It involves identifying claims stuck in aging buckets, correcting errors, following up with payers, and ensuring timely collection of outstanding balances.

Without effective A/R recovery, practices face revenue leakage, higher denial rates, and financial instability.

Why A/R Recovery Matters

• Improves cash flow — Ensures that all pending claims are collected on time.

• Reduces write-offs — Minimizes lost revenue due to neglected claims.

• Identifies denial patterns — Provides insight into recurring payer issues.

• Optimizes staff efficiency — Frees up your team from chasing old claims.

• Strengthens patient relations — Clear communication helps avoid billing disputes.

Common Causes of Aging A/R

• Incorrect or missing patient/insurance information

• Coding errors and missing modifiers

• Failure to obtain prior authorization

• Claim submission delays or missed deadlines

• Insurance denials not followed up

• Patient payment delays
