Operating problem

The aging report is usually right. The packet behind it often isn’t.

Across multi-site healthcare and dental operators, the common pattern is not patient unwillingness — it is documentation timing (statements generated at billing, stale by day 90), escalation variance (identical balances treated differently by site), payment-path fragmentation (portal at some locations, paper-only at others), and EHR-to-practice-management reconciliation gaps that quietly understate true AR.

What changes
  • Documentation regenerated at each escalation threshold, not frozen at initial billing — stale packets are the most common cause of payer and patient challenge.
  • Unified escalation thresholds across sites (45 / 75 / 120 days) with documented override criteria, replacing manager-by-manager variance.
  • Portal option extended network-wide with paper retained as fallback — no site forced digital-only, no site trapped in paper-only.
  • Weekly EHR-to-practice-management reconciliation restored where it lapsed post-acquisition, with published variance tolerance.
  • Counsel-handoff packet template measured as a standing KPI — 90% file readiness before any balance leaves the operator’s environment.illustrative
Typical first outputs
  • Cross-site aging dashboard reconciled weekly, with per-site and per-specialty cohort views.
  • Packet-quality audit across a stratified sample of balances — itemized statement presence, insurance activity, coverage context, next-step clarity.
  • Escalation-threshold audit by billing manager interview, producing the delta between written policy and observed practice.
  • Patient-path walkthrough from statement receipt through portal login on each site’s production configuration.
  • 30-day diagnostic report with a low/high recovery band and a 90-day prioritized roadmap — see the redacted sample deliverable.
90-day frame · Patient-NPS protected

Pilot on a subset before network rollout.

Healthcare and dental rollouts that move too fast damage patient relationships. The standard frame is to pilot on a small site mix — one high-volume general, one specialty, one underperformer — validate packet quality and threshold discipline on real balances, then expand. Patient NPS is tracked the entire time. See the multi-site case study for a 12-clinic engagement walked week by week.

Weeks 1–2 · Baseline

Pull aging report per site, sample packet quality against a 12-item rubric, audit escalation thresholds by observed practice (not written policy). Deliverable: baseline memo with variance map.

Weeks 3–8 · Pilot

Pilot 2–3 sites by mix. Packet template live, portal extended with paper fallback, weekly exception queue on a fixed cadence. Compliance lead reviews every patient-facing template before send.

Weeks 9–12 · Decision

Measured against baseline: cash recovered, DSO movement, packet-quality score, patient-NPS delta, exception-queue throughput. Network rollout only if metrics justify it.
