Many a provider would be shocked if they knew the dollar amount in their 90+ column on their insurance aging report! Each state has prompt payment statutes which give the timeframe in which both paper and electronic claims are to be paid. If your billing is done in-house, take the time to ask your biller to print an A/R report. If you are unhappy with what you see, find out the exact problem. Is it that your biller does not have enough time to post charges, post payments, submit claims, and maintain the A/R by themselves? Are you the owner of a billing service whose billers are in charge of their own accounts for the entire life cycle of the claims? In either scenario, listen to your biller(s) and if they need help, hire a separate employee whose only job is maintaining the accounts receivable.
