What is AR Follow-up?
AR follow-up involves the systematic tracking and management of unpaid claims and patient balances. This process includes identifying overdue accounts, contacting payers and patients, resolving claim denials, and ensuring that payments are received promptly. The primary goal of AR follow-up is to reduce the accounts receivable days (the time it takes to get paid) and improve the overall financial performance of the healthcare practice.
