Billing scope 06 of 06

The last step is where underpayments hide.

Every ERA and EOB is posted the same day it arrives and checked against the contracted rate — so a short payment gets caught immediately, not absorbed quietly into your books.

Other billing scopes

What happens on posting day

Same-day posting, checked before it's filed away.

01

Receive

ERAs and EOBs are pulled in as soon as a payer issues them — not batched and posted days later.

02

Reconcile

Each payment is checked line by line against the contracted rate for that service and payer.

03

Flag

Any underpayment, denial code, or discrepancy is flagged immediately and routed for follow-up.

Why underpayments hide here

A payment that arrives looks like a resolved claim.

Once money shows up, it's easy to assume the claim is done — but a partial or short payment against the contracted rate is still lost revenue, and it's the easiest kind to miss because nothing about it looks like a problem on the surface.

What you get

Clean, current books that reflect what was actually collected versus what was owed — with every discrepancy visible, not buried in a reconciliation nobody runs.

Where flagged issues go

Posting connects to the rest of the revenue cycle.

Underpayments

Routed into AR Recovery for follow-up with the payer on the shortfall.

Partial denials

Sent to Denial Management for review and appeal where warranted.

Patient balances

Any remaining patient responsibility is reflected accurately in statements, avoiding billing disputes down the line.

Clean books, always

Your monthly report reflects what actually happened.

Billing status per client, collections, and discrepancies are all part of your monthly report — no separate reconciliation project required on your end.

Common questions

Payment Posting FAQ

How quickly are payments posted?

The same day the ERA or EOB is received, so your books reflect reality instead of lagging behind actual collections.

How do you catch underpayments?

Every posted payment is compared against the expected contracted rate. A discrepancy is flagged immediately rather than absorbed as a rounding error.

What happens after an underpayment is identified?

It's routed into denial and AR follow-up for correction or appeal, rather than quietly written off.

Do patients get accurate statements?

Yes — once posting is reconciled, any remaining patient responsibility is reflected accurately, avoiding disputes over incorrect balances.
