Still guessing who pays first? That’s where denials start.

Getting the primary vs. secondary insurance right isn’t luck; it’s a process. And when your team follows the right steps upfront, everything downstream gets easier: fewer delays, faster payments, and cleaner claims.

In Part Two of our COB series, we walk through exactly how to determine payer order, from gathering the right info to applying COB rules and verifying with confidence.

Getting COB right starts here. When patients have more than one insurance plan, knowing who pays first isn’t optional; it’s essential. Send a claim to the wrong payer, and you’re looking at delays, denials, and extra follow-up that your team doesn’t have time for.

In Part One of our new series, we’re breaking down the basics of primary vs. secondary insurance and why getting the order right matters for your revenue.

This is just the start. We have even more guidance coming next. Read Part One today: https://appliedmedicalsystems.com/getting-cob-right-how-to-determine-primary-vs-secondary-insurance/

Credentialing in-house? The cost is higher than it looks.

Between staff time, payer portals, missed documents, and delayed enrollments, small gaps can add up to months of lost revenue.

Outsourcing brings structure, speed, and accountability. AMS manages credentialing and enrollment from start to finish, helping providers get approved faster while your team stays focused on patient care.

If you answered “yes” to all three, your AR is moving in the right direction, and your cash flow shows it. If one (or more) made you pause, there’s likely revenue sitting in aging claims that needs attention.

AMS helps practices stay proactive with follow-up, reduce AR delays, and recover revenue before it turns into a write-off.

Let’s take a closer look at your AR. Connect with AMS to get started: https://appliedmedicalsystems.com/contact/

Silent terminations don’t send warnings; they just stop paying your claims.

Recredentialing deadlines, expired licenses, or missed CAQH attestations can push providers out of network overnight, halting revenue without notice.

AMS tracks expirations, manages CAQH updates, and monitors recredentialing timelines so your providers stay active, compliant, and in-network.
