In today’s healthcare world, AR Management is one of the most important—but often overlooked—parts of running a successful practice. AR stands for Accounts Receivable, and managing it effectively means your practice receives payments on time, maintains a steady cash flow, and avoids unnecessary financial stress.

Let’s break down what AR Management is, why it matters, and how Med Brigade helps providers stay on top of it.

What is AR Management?

AR Management in healthcare refers to the process of tracking and collecting payments that are due from insurance companies and patients. Once you provide services, the goal is to submit accurate claims and ensure that the money owed is received as quickly as possible.

Without proper AR Management, a medical practice can lose thousands of dollars every month through delayed payments, rejected claims, or unpaid patient bills.

Why AR Management is Essential

A smooth and efficient AR Management process ensures that:

Claims are submitted correctly and on time
Payments from insurance companies are received faster
Denied claims are handled quickly and accurately
Patient balances are collected with minimal delay
Your practice remains financially healthy

In short, AR Management keeps the revenue cycle moving and prevents your business from getting stuck waiting on payments.

How AR Management Works in Healthcare

Here’s how a strong AR Management process works step-by-step:

Claim Submission:
After a patient visit, a claim is generated and sent to the insurance company using the right CPT and diagnosis codes.
Claim Monitoring:
Claims are tracked to ensure they’re processed quickly. If any delays occur, follow-up is conducted promptly.
Denial Management:
If a claim is denied, AR specialists correct the errors and resubmit the claim promptly.
Patient Follow-Up:
If part of the bill is the patient’s responsibility, they are billed clearly and professionally.
Payment Posting:
Payments from both insurance and patients are accurately posted in your billing system to maintain financial clarity.

Common Problems in AR Management

Even with a strong billing process, problems can arise if AR Management isn’t handled properly:

Claims stuck in processing for too long
A high percentage of denials
Incomplete documentation leading to rejections
Failure to follow up on old or unpaid accounts
Lack of visibility into your accounts receivable ageing

These issues can lead to ageingageing AR—which means money that remains uncollected for 60, 90, or even 120 days or more. This directly affects your bottom line.
