Where dental practices lose money in claims

Claims that never get submitted on time. Treatment happens, the day gets busy, and claims sit in the queue for days or weeks. Some payers have 90-day filing deadlines. Miss that window and the money is gone. Not denied. Gone.

Denials that never get appealed. A claim comes back rejected. The EOB goes in a pile. Nobody looks at it because there are 50 new claims to submit today. Most dental practices appeal less than 10% of their denials. The other 90% get written off as lost revenue.

Underpayments that never get caught. The payer sends a check for less than what's owed. If nobody compares the payment to the original claim amount, the shortfall becomes a permanent loss. This happens on a per-claim basis and adds up to thousands per year.

AR that ages past the point of no return. Claims sitting at 90, 120, 180+ days have progressively lower recovery rates. The longer they sit, the harder they are to collect. By the time someone gets around to working them, half are past the timely filing limit.

What our claims and AR recovery service covers

Every step from claim creation through final payment. Nothing sits in a queue untouched.

Clean claim submission

Claims go out the same day with correct CDT codes, attachments, narratives, and payer-specific formatting. We scrub every claim before submission. Clean claims get paid faster and denied less.

Scheduled AR follow-up

Every unpaid claim gets worked on a set cadence. 30 days, 60 days, 90+ days. We check payer portals, call when needed, and escalate until the claim is resolved. Your aging report gets smaller every month.

Denial analysis and appeals

Every denied claim gets reviewed the day it comes back. We identify the reason, fix it, and resubmit or file a formal appeal. We track denial patterns by payer and code so the same mistakes stop repeating.

Payment reconciliation

Every payment checked against the original claim. Underpayments flagged and followed up. Wrong patient credits caught. Write-off errors identified before they become permanent.

Patient balance recovery

Statements sent, balances followed up, payment plans tracked. Patient AR is the part most offices ignore because it feels uncomfortable. We handle it so your team doesn't have to have those conversations.

AR reporting

Monthly breakdown of aging AR by bucket (30/60/90+ days), denial rate by payer, recovery rate, and claim volume. You see where the money is and what we're doing to collect it.

How we work your aging AR

Structured process, not random follow-up calls when someone has time.

1

We audit your current AR

Pull the aging report, sort by bucket, identify which claims are recoverable and which have passed filing deadlines. You see the full picture before we start.

2

Priority triage

Highest-dollar claims and claims closest to filing deadlines get worked first. Then we move through the rest systematically. No random calling. Structured follow-up based on dollar amount and age.

3

Denials get appealed immediately

Every denial reviewed, root cause identified, and resubmitted or formally appealed. We don't let denied claims sit in a pile. They get worked the day they come back.

4

Ongoing prevention

As we clean up the existing AR, we fix the processes that created the backlog. Submission workflows tighten, denial patterns get addressed, and new claims go out cleaner so the AR stays healthy.

When you need AR recovery help

Not every practice needs dedicated AR recovery. But if any of these sound familiar, your aging report is costing you money.

Your 90+ day AR keeps growing. If the oldest bucket is getting bigger every month, claims aren't being worked. That money is aging toward write-off territory.

You don't know your denial rate. If nobody tracks which claims get denied, why they get denied, and whether they get appealed, denials are invisible revenue loss.

Your biller is behind. They're submitting new claims but don't have time to chase old ones. The old claims keep aging while the new ones pile up.

You lost a biller and the backlog grew. Staff turnover is the number one cause of AR spikes. If billing stopped for even a few weeks during a transition, that gap created a backlog that compounds over time.

Who built PracticeAlpha

Ori Bekerman, Founder

Built and scaled a multi-location dental organization and watched AR problems compound across every office. Claims aging out, denials piling up, revenue disappearing quietly in the background while the team focused on patients.

That's why PracticeAlpha treats AR recovery as an operational priority, not an afterthought. We've seen what happens when aging reports go unworked. We built this company so it doesn't happen to yours.

Common questions about dental AR recovery

What is dental AR recovery?

AR recovery is the process of following up on unpaid dental insurance claims, appealing denials, and collecting outstanding balances. It focuses on claims that have aged past 30, 60, or 90+ days without payment.

How long does it take to reduce aging AR?

Most practices see measurable improvement within 60 days. The biggest gains come from working the 90+ day bucket where claims have been sitting untouched the longest.

What percentage of denied claims can be recovered?

It depends on the denial reason. Coding errors, missing information, and documentation gaps are usually recoverable. Most practices appeal less than 10% of their denials. We appeal every claim that has a recoverable path.

Do you handle patient collections too?

Yes. Patient statements, balance follow-up, and payment plan tracking. We handle both the insurance side and the patient side of accounts receivable.

What software do you use for claims management?

We work inside your existing practice management system. Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve, Denticon. No new software needed.

How do you track claim status?

Every claim tracked from submission through payment. We monitor payer portals, ERA responses, and aging reports daily. Monthly reporting shows claim volume, denial rate, and AR aging by bucket.
