A/R triage won last week’s vote.

Here’s the order we recommend:

1. Deadline claims approaching filing or appeal limits

2. Dollars highest balances among the remaining claims

3. Age oldest first after the first two filters

The point isn’t to work the aging report from top to bottom. It’s to work the claims most likely to affect collections first.

Three sort decisions can change what gets worked this month.

Comment RECOVER and we’ll send you the one-page triage sheet.
the one-page A/R triage sheet.

How does your team decide which A/R claims to work first?

Oldest first?

Newest first?

Or the biggest balances?

A better approach is:

🔹 Deadline — protect claims nearing filing or appeal deadlines

🔹 Dollars — prioritize the largest balances

🔹 Age — then work the oldest remaining claims

Because a claim that misses its deadline can become a claim you can’t collect.

You voted for it, so here is the exact breakdown. 📊
Not all aging A/R is created equal. If your team treats a 30-day claim with the same urgency as a 90-day claim nearing its timely filing limit, you are letting hard-earned revenue slip through the cracks.
Swipe through to see the step-by-step A/R triage order we use at Wise Medical Billing to prioritize high-value claims, eliminate revenue leakage, and systematically clear out aged accounts receivable. ➡️
👉 Ready to recover uncollected revenue? Drop a comment or DM "AUDIT" to schedule a practice consultation.

Stop burning staff hours on dead claims. 🛑
Sorting your A/R report by "Oldest-First" usually means your team is grinding through claims that are already past their timely filing or appeal deadlines. Result? Maximum effort, zero collection.
Swipe to slide 3 to see how to pivot your strategy and focus on high-yield, recoverable claims before they expire. ➡️

Newest-first" feels great until you check page nine. ⚠️
Chasing low-hanging fruit gives your billing department a temporary dopamine hit of quick wins, but it leaves your high-risk claims stranded. While staff cleared the easy 30-day rejections, the 85-day claims sitting on page nine just crossed their timely filing cutoff.
Swipe to slide 4 to see how proper triage balances high-yield speed with deadline protection. ➡️

Rule #1 of A/R Triage: Beat the clock. ⏰
Before looking at claim dollar amounts or age, clear out anything sitting within 30 days of a filing or appeal window. Payer deadlines don't care how valid a claim is miss the window, and that cash is gone for good.
Swipe to slide 5 to see what comes next in the triage hierarchy. ➡️

Once deadline risks are secured, follow the money. 💰
Work your largest balances first. It takes roughly the same amount of time and effort to call a payer on a $200 claim as it does on a $4,000 claim so maximize your team's labor efficiency.
Resolving one high-dollar claim immediately injects cash back into your practice, while clearing twenty small ones just eats up hours.
Swipe to slide 6 to see the third step in the triage hierarchy. ➡️

Only after securing deadlines and high dollars do you sort by age. ⏱️

An aging report can show you every outstanding claim.

It doesn't automatically tell you which one deserves attention first.

That's where many A/R workflows get stuck.

Teams may start with the oldest claim because it has been sitting the longest or start at the top of whatever order the system provides.

But a better question is:

What is most urgent and valuable to work right now?

A simple framework:

1. Deadline Check claims approaching filing or appeal windows.

2. Dollars Prioritize larger balances when urgency is similar.

3. Age Then work through the remaining unresolved claims by age.

This turns an aging report from a list of claims into a prioritization tool.

Because working the A/R every day doesn't necessarily mean you're working the right claims first.

What does your A/R team prioritize first?

Your aging report has an order. 

But does it have a priority? 👀 

Oldest-first doesn't automatically mean most urgent. 

Newest-first doesn't automatically mean easiest win. 

And sorting by dollars alone can still miss a claim that's running out of time. 

Try this A/R triage order: 

1️⃣ Deadline  What needs attention before a filing or appeal window closes? 

2️⃣ Dollars  Where is the biggest recovery opportunity? 

3️⃣ Age What has been unresolved the longest? 

Think: 

DEADLINE → DOLLARS → AGE 

The goal isn't to make your team work through more claims. 

It's to help them identify which claims deserve attention first. 

Save this framework for your next aging review.

What is 10 points of denial rate actually worth?

On a 500-claim month:

• 13% denial rate = 65 denials
• 3% denial rate = 15 denials
• 50 fewer denials
• About $5,900/month in rework avoided

And that’s only the visible cost.

The bigger impact is cash that gets paid on the first pass instead of entering the A/R aging queue.

The exact impact will depend on your claim volume, but the math is simple.

Run it on your own numbers.

DM CASE for the full breakdown.

09/11/2026

Four checks ran on every claim at the practice that cut denials from 13% to 3%. Here they are, in order.

Four checks ran before every claim left the practice.

And in one practice case, the denial rate moved from 13% to 3% over the measured period.

The checks were simple:

✓ Current eligibility

✓ Prior authorization requirements

✓ Coding matched to documentation

✓ Current payer-specific requirements

If something didn't pass, the claim didn't leave.

The issue was identified and corrected first.

That changes the workflow from:

Submit → Denial → Rework

to:

Check → Correct → Submit

It's not about assuming every denial can be prevented.

It's about catching potentially preventable claim issues earlier in the revenue cycle.

📌 Save this and run all four checks against your next 20 claims.
