Aged AR Recovery
The claims your team already wrote off in their heads.
Every practice has a someday drawer — the 90-day, 180-day, 365-day claims that everyone knows are worth money and nobody has time to fight. Timely-filing and appeal windows are expiring on some of them every single day. That's the drawer we empty.
The Problem
The problem: aged AR dies of deadlines, not merit.
The claims sitting in your 90+ buckets aren't unrecoverable — most were never worked at all. But every week of delay kills options: appeal windows close, timely-filing arguments weaken, documentation gets harder to assemble. Aged AR is a melting asset.
What We Do
Deliverables, not promises.
- Full aging analysis: every open claim mapped by age bucket, payer, and remaining deadline
- Deadline-first worklists — claims with closing appeal or filing windows worked before anything else
- Appeal research and medical-records assembly for older, multi-touch claims
- Payer escalation through second-level appeal and external review where available
- Contingency pricing tiered by claim age — you pay only on what actually posts
The Difference
How it's different
Most firms refuse aged AR because it's labor-intensive and uncertain. Our contingency tiers are built for exactly that risk: we advance all the labor and get paid only from results, at rates that scale with claim age (12% at 0–90 days up to 30% for 365+ days and prior write-offs).
Deadline math drives the queue. A $300 claim with ten days left on its appeal window outranks a $900 claim with six months — because recoverable-but-expired is worth zero.
Straight Talk
What we can't recover
- Claims past every timely-filing and appeal deadline with no exception basis
- Claims with no supporting documentation and no way to reconstruct it
- True contractual write-offs — adjustments your contract genuinely requires
The Recovery Audit tells you which bucket your AR falls into before you commit to anything. If most of it is genuinely dead, we say so in writing and you keep the analysis.
What It Costs
Performance pricing or a flat rate. Your choice, your state’s rules.
Model A: a percentage of dollars actually recovered — nothing recovered, nothing owed (most states). Model B: a fixed monthly rate where every recovered dollar is 100% yours (all 50 states). Both start with the free Recovery Audit ($500 value) and its written go/no-go.

Asked on every call about aged ar recovery.
Can you work claims we already wrote off?
Often, yes — if deadlines haven't fully expired or an exception basis exists. Written-off claims fall in our 365+ tier: 30% of recovered, nothing if nothing posts.
Why do older claims carry a higher contingency percentage?
Because they're a different job: appeal research, records assembly, payer escalation, often multiple appeal levels — all advanced at our cost against a lower probability of recovery. The tiers reflect actual cost and risk.
How do we know what's actually recoverable before signing?
That's the free Recovery Audit ($500 value): a written map of your open AR by age, payer, and recoverability, with a go/no-go recommendation — including 'it's not worth it' if that's the truth.
Know your number before you sign anything.
The Recovery Audit is a $500 analysis — yours free, in writing, with an honest go/no-go. Limited slots each month.
