Recover Revenue Sitting in
Aging Receivables
Aging AR is a silent drain on fertility practice revenue. Claims that sit beyond 90 days are increasingly difficult to collect — and many practices simply write them off. We work them methodically to recover what's yours.

Common Questions About Fertility AR Recovery
What are "days in AR" and what should a fertility practice target?
Days in AR (accounts receivable) measures how long, on average, it takes from claim submission to payment. For fertility practices, a healthy target is 30–40 days. Above 50 days typically indicates payer follow-up gaps or denial backlogs. Above 60 days suggests a systemic problem in the billing workflow.
How old is too old to recover a fertility claim?
It depends on the payer's timely filing limit, which typically ranges from 90 to 365 days from the date of service. Claims beyond the timely filing window generally cannot be collected from the payer. However, claims denied for clinical reasons — not timely filing — can often be appealed regardless of age, as long as the original submission was within the window.
What is the typical timely filing limit for commercial fertility payers?
Most commercial payers require claim submission within 90 to 180 days of the date of service. Fertility benefit managers like Progyny often have shorter windows — as tight as 90 days. Government payers (Medicare, Medicaid) allow 12 months. We monitor timely filing deadlines for all open claims and escalate approaching deadlines before they expire.
Can aging AR be recovered even after an initial denial?
Yes — a significant portion of aged fertility AR represents denied claims that were never appealed, not write-offs. Claims denied for coding errors, missing authorization, or coordination of benefits issues can often be recovered through corrected resubmissions or formal appeals, even if they are 90–120 days old, as long as the timely filing window is still open.
