Why old A/R builds up
Aged A/R usually grows slowly: staff changes, system switches, denials that weren’t worked, or simply too many claims for too few people.
Staff turnover
When a biller leaves, their open claims are often left untouched.
System or vendor changes
Switching EHRs or billing companies leaves old claims stranded.
Unworked denials
Denials that were never appealed sit in A/R until written off.
Deadlines getting closer
Appeal and filing limits keep running as claims age.
No idea what's collectable
Without review, practices can't tell which claims are worth working.
Distorted financial picture
Inflated A/R hides the true financial health of the practice.

Old A/R recovery FAQs
Common questions about recovering aged accounts receivable.
What is old A/R in medical billing?
Old A/R refers to unpaid claims and balances that have been outstanding for a long time, usually more than 90 or 120 days after the date of service.
Can claims older than 120 days still be collected?
Many can. Depending on payer rules, claims may be corrected, appealed or supported with proof of timely filing. A careful review shows which claims are still recoverable.
How do you decide which claims to work?
We assess each claim’s collectability based on its age, payer rules, denial history and value, then prioritize the claims with the best chance of recovery.
How is old A/R recovery priced?
It’s usually priced as a project fee or a percentage of the amount recovered. We’ll recommend the best option after reviewing your A/R.
Can you recover A/R from our old billing system?
Yes. We can work claims from legacy or closed systems as long as we have access to the claim and payment history.
What happens to claims that can't be recovered?
We document why they can’t be collected and recommend adjustments, so your A/R becomes accurate.
