Effectively Collect Outstanding Receivables and Reduce AR Days
As labor markets tighten and payor behavior increases the time to collect, many health care organizations are opting to outsource all or a portion of their accounts receivable inventory. Most are opting for at least a partial outsource based on age or balance size to free up internal resources for more high-value accounts. This decision often lowers the average AR days and cost to collect significantly, while increasing overall collectability.
