A/R Recovery Services That Collect What Everyone Else Already Deprioritized
Old accounts receivable is usually the most recoverable revenue a practice has, not the least, because unlike a contractual write-off or genuine patient bad debt, an aged claim is typically still collectible if someone pursues it before the payer's timely filing window closes. The problem is that most billing operations, including the one currently working your claims, quietly deprioritize anything past 60 or 90 days in favor of this week's fresh volume. That is how a 90+ day bucket grows month over month until claims start crossing filing deadlines and become permanently uncollectible, not because the money was never owed, but because nobody worked the file in time. CureBytes runs dedicated A/R recovery projects that audit, prioritize, and work every aged claim against the deadline that actually governs it.
AR
Built for Practices Sitting on AR That's Quietly Becoming Permanent Loss
Aging reports run on standard buckets, 0 to 30, 31 to 60, 61 to 90, 91 to 120, and 120-plus days, and each one calls for a different level of urgency. MGMA and HFMA benchmarks call for keeping total AR over 90 days under roughly 10 to 15% of your outstanding receivables, and once a practice's 90+ day bucket climbs past that, write-off rates tend to climb with it, commonly moving from a 15 to 25% range at the 90 day mark toward 40 to 60% or higher beyond 120 days. That said, recoverability is not a fixed decay curve the way some vendors present it. What actually determines whether an aged claim is still worth pursuing is the payer, the denial type, the documentation behind it, and how much runway is left on that payer's specific timely filing window, which commonly runs 90 to 180 days for commercial payers and up to 12 months for Medicare. Treating every claim in the bucket the same way, instead of triaging it against its actual deadline, is exactly how recoverable money quietly becomes a write-off.

Patient balance separation and statement issuance once insurance-side recovery is exhausted
A claim that has already been deprioritized once does not need another vendor who will deprioritize it again. It needs a deadline, an owner, and a specific next action.

Audit & Priorit8ized
A Full Audit and a Prioritized Recovery Workplan, Not a Vague Promise
Before we work a single claim, we build a complete inventory of everything sitting in your 90-plus day bucket, categorized by payer, denial reason, dollar value, and the specific timely filing deadline attached to it. Each claim gets a recovery probability based on payer-specific appeal patterns for that denial type, and the result is a prioritized workplan, not a guess about which claims might eventually pay.

UNDERPAYMENT RECOVERY & PATIENT BALANCE
Underpayment Recovery and Patient Balance Resolution
Some of the money sitting in an aging report was never actually denied, it was simply paid below the contracted rate and never flagged. We compare payments against your actual contracted fee schedule to catch underpayments and dispute them directly with the payer. Where insurance-side recovery is genuinely exhausted, we separate the patient responsibility cleanly and issue statements, rather than leaving the balance in limbo indefinitely.

A/R RECOVERY PROCESS
How Our A/R Recovery Process Works
Whether we are cleaning up a legacy backlog or taking over ongoing follow-up, every aged claim moves through the same disciplined process.
Full AR Audit and Claim Inventory
We inventory every claim in your 90+ day bucket, categorized by payer, denial reason, dollar value, and timely filing deadline.

TIMELY FILLING
We Track Timely Filing Deadlines the Way Payers Actually Enforce Them.
A valid claim with a clear denial reason is still worthless to your practice if it is filed after the payer's deadline.
has passed, and every payer runs its own clock. We track these windows by payer, so a recovery effort never
runs out of time before it runs out of options.

Actually Operates
Practices With a 90+ Day Bucket Above the Benchmark
We audit and work down a bucket that has climbed past the 10 to 15% HFMA and MGMA target before it grows further.
Practices Switching Billing Vendors With Inherited Old AR
We take on a legacy backlog left behind by a previous biller instead of starting your relationship with an inherited write-off.
Practices Facing a Backlog After Staff Turnover or an EHR Transition
We stabilize AR that aged during a period when no one had full ownership of the follow-up process.
Practices Wanting a One-Time Clean-Up vs. Ongoing Management
We support both a defined recovery project on existing old AR and ongoing follow-up that keeps new claims from aging into the same bucket.
Pricing
Transparent Pricing. No Contracts. No Guesswork.
Billing and coding services are priced as a percentage of collections, so there is no upfront cost and no incentive misalignment between what we charge and what you actually get paid. If our first-pass clean claim rate for your practice falls below 95% in any given month, we run a full coding and claims audit at no additional charge, because a clean claim rate below the professional standard is our problem to fix, not yours to absorb.
Back-End
How Our Team Turns Clean Coding Into Faster, Fuller Collections
Every practice that comes to us with a revenue cycle problem is usually surprised by how much of it traces back to coding and claim scrubbing, not payer relationships or patient collections. We start every new client relationship with a coding and claims audit, so the fix targets what is actually causing the denials instead of a downstream symptom of it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know Before You Decide
What counts as "aged" or "old" AR?
Most practices treat claims 90 days or older as aged AR, with the 91-to-120-day range considered urgent and anything past 120 days considered critical, since timely filing windows are often close to expiring by that point.
