An Accounts Receivable (A/R) Aging Report categorizes unpaid claims by how long they’ve been outstanding. It helps identify billing bottlenecks and prioritize collections.
🔹 Key Columns to Analyze
| Bucket | Timeframe | Action Required |
| Current | 0-30 days | Monitor for normal processing |
| 31-60 days | 31-60 days | Follow up with payer/patient |
| 61-90 days | 61-90 days | Escalate (appeals/collections) |
| 90+ days | >90 days | High risk of write-offs → urgent action |
🔹 What to Look For
✔ Trends: Are certain payers consistently slow?
✔ Denials: High A/R in 60+ days may indicate unresolved claims
✔ Patient Balances: Are self-pay accounts aging unnecessarily?
🔹 Pro Tips
✔ Run reports weekly to catch issues early
✔ Set targets: <10% in 60+ days, <5% in 90+ days
✔ Color-code: Highlight problem areas (e.g., red for 90+ days)
