Do you know your A/R?
That $3,000 sitting in your 120+ day bucket is more than just a number — it’s a message.

When A/R ages past 120 days, it usually means something in the workflow broke. That $3,000 could be:

• Unposted payments (ERA not posted, paper EOBs missed)
• Denials that were never corrected or appealed
• Claim submission errors (coding, modifiers, clearinghouse rejections)
• Eligibility issues (inactive coverage, wrong plan, coordination of benefits)

Aging A/R is silent revenue loss — but it’s also fixable with the right process.

Get to know your A/R.
Book with us at hourly rates to learn how to work your own A/R step‑by‑step — or let MBC Billing Company LLC handle it for you.

Your revenue deserves clarity. Your practice deserves support.

Billing Topic of the Day: Out-of-Network Denials Why do claims get denied as out-of-network — even when you’re in-network?
Here are the top causes we see every week:

🔹 Modifier or taxonomy mismatch
Claims billed with incorrect modifiers (like 95 vs GT) or taxonomy codes can trigger auto-denials, even for contracted providers.

🔹 Algorithmic misclassification
Some payers use automated systems that flag claims as out-of-network based on NPI, POS, or billing structure — not actual contract status.

🔹 Authorization confusion
Even when care is medically necessary, lack of referral or prior auth can lead to denial. This is especially common with telehealth and specialty services.

🔹 Payer cost-saving tactics
Out-of-network denials are often used to reduce payout — even when no in-network alternative exists.

🔹 Billing under the wrong plan or NPI
Submitting under a secondary NPI or incorrect plan ID can cause the system to misroute the claim.
