Money your old biller gave up on. We’ll get it back.
AR recovery for U.S. medical practices. We work claims other billers wrote off as uncollectible: denials, timely filing appeals, aged AR sitting at 90 or 180 days. Half of what most practices consider a loss is actually still recoverable if someone works it properly.
Old doesn’t mean dead. Not yet.

Six types of stuck AR we chase down.
Not every aged claim is created equal. Here’s what our recovery team goes after and what we usually find.
Denied Claims
Denials that never got appealed. We categorize by reason code, correct the underlying issue, and file appeals with proper documentation.
Aged AR > 90 Days
Claims sitting past 90 days without a status update. Most just need someone to call the payer, escalate, and push.
Timely Filing Appeals
Claims denied for timely filing that actually have valid extensions or good cause. We know how to document and appeal these.
Underpayments
Payers routinely pay less than contracted rates. We compare payments against your fee schedule and appeal the shortfall.
Missing EOBs
Claims that were paid but never posted because the ERA or EOB got lost. Free money hiding in unmatched deposits.
Secondary Balances
Primary paid, secondary never billed. We work the coordination of benefits and get the remaining amount collected.
How we work stuck claims.
Not automated bots calling payers. Real specialists who know appeals, timely filing exceptions, and how to escalate when the first rep says no.
AR Audit
We pull your aged AR report and categorize every claim by age, payer, denial reason, and dollar value. Highest-value claims get worked first.
Triage & Prioritize
Some claims are truly dead. Most aren’t. We identify the ones with real recovery potential and build appeals with documentation.
Work & Follow Up
Appeals filed, payer calls made, escalations pushed. Weekly follow-up until the claim is paid or exhausted. No claim forgotten.
Report & Repeat
Weekly recovery report showing dollars collected, appeals filed, and what’s still in progress. Transparent tracking, no surprises.
Recovered in the first quarter alone.
A multi-specialty group in Northern California came to us with eighteen months of aged AR their old biller had quietly written off. We audited it, prioritized the recoverable claims, and started working appeals.
“We had eighteen months of aged AR our prior biller had quietly written off. CureMed pulled the report, worked the claims, and recovered just under $290K in the first quarter. We didn’t even know it was there to find.”

Common questions about AR recovery.
What is AR recovery in medical billing?
AR recovery is the process of collecting money owed on claims that were denied, delayed, or forgotten by your previous billing team. It focuses on claims older than 90 days that are usually written off as uncollectible but often still have real revenue in them.
How much aged AR can actually be recovered?
It varies by practice, but 30 to 60 percent of aged AR older than 90 days is typically still collectible with proper appeals and follow-up. Our team has recovered $290K in a single quarter for a multi-specialty group in Northern California.
How is AR recovery different from regular medical billing?
Regular billing focuses on current claims coming out the door. AR recovery focuses on old, denied, or ignored claims that have been sitting for a while. It requires specialists who know payer appeals processes, timely filing rules, and how to escalate when the first payer rep says no.
Do you take over all AR or just aged claims?
Either. Most practices start with an aged AR recovery project on claims older than 60 or 90 days. Some then transition to full-service billing with us. Some just want the recovery work done and keep their current biller for current claims. Both work.
How do you charge for AR recovery?
Standard rate is 4.99 percent of what we actually recover. You pay nothing on claims we can’t collect. No upfront fees, no per-claim charges. If we don’t bring in money, you don’t owe us anything.
How long does an AR recovery project take?
Typical AR recovery project runs 90 days. The first 30 days are the highest volume as we work through the easier wins. The remaining 60 days go into deeper appeals and harder cases. You’ll see recoveries starting week two in most cases.
