We resolve stuck secondary and tertiary claims by attaching primary EOBs, correcting Coordination of Benefits (COB), and re-queuing electronic crossovers.
Workers’ Comp & Complex A/R
Specialized follow-up for high-dollar surgical claims, out-of-network negotiations, workers’ compensation adjusters, and personal injury/PIP liens.
Patient A/R & Ledger Cleanup
We reconcile unapplied payments, resolve credit balances, and verify true patient responsibility so patient statements are accurate and collectible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Accounts Receivable Recovery
Clear answers on how Doc Flow RCM rescues aging claims and reduces your Days in A/R.
Q1. Can you recover claims that are already 90 or 120+ days old?
Yes. While older claims require more intensive work, our A/R specialists routinely recover 18% to 30%+ of neglected 90–120+ day backlogs through corrected claims, clinical appeals, proof-of-timely-filing documentation, and direct payer escalations.
Q2. Can we hire Doc Flow RCM just for a one-time old A/R cleanup project?
Absolutely. Many practices engage us specifically to clean up legacy A/R left behind by a previous billing company or during an EHR software migration, while their internal team focuses on current daily billing.
Q3. What is a healthy benchmark for Days in A/R and 90+ Day A/R percentage?
For most medical specialties, average Days in A/R should remain under 30–35 days, and the percentage of A/R over 90 days should be kept below 10%–12%. Our workflows are designed to bring your practice within these top-performing benchmarks.
Q4. How do we track the progress of your A/R recovery team?
Every claim action, payer phone call, reference number, and appeal is documented directly in your EHR/PM system. Additionally, you receive weekly A/R aging comparison reports showing exact cash recovered by bucket and payer.
Q5. How quickly can your team start working on our unpaid A/R backlog?
We can complete a complimentary A/R aging assessment within 48 hours and deploy our dedicated A/R recovery specialists inside your billing system within 3 to 5 business days.
