Managing a healthcare practice goes beyond patient care — keeping the revenue cycle strong and consistent is just as important. That’s where Accounts Receivable (AR) Management and Medical Credentialing Services come in. Both play a major role in how fast and how accurately your practice gets paid.

At Med Brigade, we specialize in supporting clinics, solo providers, and group practices with reliable AR follow-up and complete credentialing solutions. Our goal is simple: keep your cash flow healthy, eliminate billing delays, and make payer enrollments smooth and hassle-free.

What Is AR Management?

AR Management (Accounts Receivable Management) refers to tracking and collecting outstanding payments owed by insurance companies and patients. This includes submitted claims waiting for payer decisions, denied claims, and patient balances not yet paid.

When AR is poorly managed, the practice suffers from:

• Delayed or lost revenue

• High claim rejection rates

• Inaccurate aging reports

• Wasted staff time on follow-ups

• Patient dissatisfaction due to billing confusion

At Med Brigade, we treat AR follow-up as a priority, not an afterthought. Whether it’s 10 days or 120 days out, we consistently work every claim until it’s resolved.

How Med Brigade Handles AR Management

We use a structured and proactive approach to AR. Here’s what that includes:

1. Daily Claim Monitoring

We review claims as soon as they are submitted. If any are rejected or delayed, we take immediate action — no waiting around.

2. Insurance Follow-up

Our billing specialists contact payers regularly to check the status of aging claims. We escalate appeals when needed and ensure all documentation is resubmitted properly.

3. Denial Management

We categorize denials, identify the root causes (coding errors, authorization issues, eligibility problems), and fix them to prevent future denials.

4. Patient Balance Follow-up

We help your practice handle patient collections respectfully and clearly — from statements to follow-up calls and payment plans.

5. Customized AR Reports

You get regular reports showing outstanding balances, payer trends, aging summaries, and collection ratios — all in plain language.

Common AR Mistakes That Hurt Practices

• Not following up on claims within 30 days

• Letting denials pile up without resolution

• Overlooking secondary or tertiary insurance

• Not validating patient insurance before visits

• Using incorrect CPT or ICD-10 codes

• Weak communication with patients about balances

We help you avoid these mistakes by managing the entire AR process from start to finish — so nothing slips through the cracks.

What Is Medical Credentialing?

Credentialing is the process of verifying a provider’s qualifications to ensure they meet payer and regulatory requirements. It includes:

• Verifying licenses, certifications, and degrees

• Enrolling the provider with insurance companies

• Revalidating credentials periodically

• Updating any changes (like tax ID, group NPI, or location)

Credentialing is often time-consuming and confusing. One missed document or delayed update can result in months of unpaid claims.

That’s why outsourcing your credentialing to a professional team like Med Brigade helps avoid lost revenue and saves staff time.

How Med Brigade Supports Credentialing

We offer end-to-end credentialing services for physicians, nurse practitioners, therapists, and group practices. Our process includes:

1. Initial Enrollment

We complete and submit provider applications to Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers. We ensure all information is accurate and complete before submission.

2. Re-Credentialing & Revalidations

Payers typically require revalidation every 2–3 years. We track those deadlines and take care of renewals before they expire.

3. CAQH Management

We help maintain and update CAQH profiles, which most payers require for enrollment.

4. Status Tracking

We follow up regularly with each payer, document updates, and respond to any requests or corrections.

5. Ongoing Support

Whether you’re adding a new location, changing your billing group, or hiring a new provider, we handle the credentialing changes for you.

Why Credentialing Matters for Revenue

Many practices underestimate how directly credentialing affects their income. Without it:

• Claims will be denied by insurance

• Providers may not get reimbursed for months

• Your practice could be removed from payer networks

• Backlogs in credentialing delay patient scheduling

In short: bad credentialing can stop your revenue cycle entirely. At Med Brigade, we help keep it moving.
