Accounts Receivable Follow-Up
Prioritized follow-up for unpaid, underpaid and aging insurance balances.
For US medical practices, accounts receivable follow-up prioritizes unpaid, underpaid and aging insurance balances by value, age, payer status, recoverability and filing limits. Neeraj RCM Global Solutions supports structured follow-up, escalation and next-action visibility.

Clear answers before engagement.
Which A/R claims should be worked first?
Prioritization typically considers timely-filing or appeal deadlines, claim value, age, payer status, recoverability and the information available to resolve the balance.
Can you work an existing backlog?
Yes. Backlog recovery can be scoped as a focused project, followed by a sustainable ongoing workflow if required.
Does A/R follow-up include patient balances?
Insurance A/R and patient billing are separate workflows. Patient billing and collections support can be added when appropriate and compliant with the practice’s policies.
