What We Offer at Innovative Billing Solutions
AR Review + Analyzation
In the complex world of behavioral healthcare billing, a strong revenue cycle depends on much more than timely claim submissions.
For many treatment centers, therapy practices, mental health facilities, and growing multi-service programs, the biggest threat to financial stability is not what hasn’t yet been billed—it’s what has already been billed but never collected. Accounts Receivable (AR) often hides patterns, payer issues, coding errors, and overlooked revenue that can significantly impact cash flow.
At Innovative Billing Solutions, our AR Review & Analysis service exists for one purpose: to give you absolute clarity into your outstanding revenue picture—what has been billed, what has been collected, what has been written off, and most importantly, what money is still recoverable. Far too often, behavioral healthcare providers leave thousands—even millions—of dollars unclaimed simply because no one has taken a deep, strategic look at their AR.
Our boutique, close-knit team specializes in uncovering these opportunities. With a hands-on approach that feels like an extension of your in-house billing department, we dive into your historical claims data and perform a detailed assessment designed to answer critical questions, restore missed revenue, and strengthen your processes going forward. When we say we “find money left on the table,” it’s because our experience tells us it’s almost always there.

Why Work With Us
Why AR Review & Analysis Matters in Behavioral Healthcare
Behavioral healthcare revenue cycles are uniquely challenging. Unlike general medical billing, where coding is often straightforward, behavioral health involves a wider range of variables.
Because of these complexities, behavioral healthcare providers are especially vulnerable to accumulating aged AR. Claims may be denied and never corrected. Payments may be partially reimbursed without adjustment. Services may go unbilled due to authorization confusion. Entire categories of revenue may slip through administrative cracks.
A thorough AR review is not simply a data pull—it’s a diagnostic tool that exposes what’s working, what’s not, and where systemic improvements can be made. For behavioral health organizations operating on narrow margins and strict payer requirements, this insight is invaluable.
Behavioral health coding rules differ from those of medical/surgical specialties.
Documentation requirements vary by payer, service type, and level of care.
Payer guidelines for authorizations, continuing stay reviews, and session limits change frequently.
High patient volumes can mask recurring billing or credentialing issues.
Staff turnover can disrupt billing consistency or create gaps in follow-up.

What We Offer
What Our AR Review & Analysis Includes
At Innovative Billing Solutions, our process is designed to be comprehensive, actionable, and tailored to your unique operations. We begin by pulling your AR report, which provides a full picture of your outstanding claims and historical activity. From there, we analyze:
What’s Been Billed
What’s Been Collected
Next, we look at payer reimbursements to determine:
- Whether payments align with contracted rates
- Whether payers have reimbursed fully or partially
- Whether patient responsibility has been calculated correctly
- Whether secondary claims were filed accurately
This insight helps identify both payer noncompliance and internal process gaps.
What’s Been Written Off
Write-offs can reveal significant issues, such as:
- Premature write-offs of collectible revenue
- Claims accepted as “non-billable” due to misunderstanding of payer guidelines
- Incorrect contractual adjustments
- Avoidable denials that became permanent losses
We frequently find categories of claims that were written off unnecessarily and can still be recovered.
What Can Still Be Collected
This is where our expertise shines. By analyzing aging buckets, denial codes, and payer behavior patterns, we identify:
- Claims eligible for reprocessing
- Claims with missing documentation
- Underpaid claims that need appeals
- Claims that require coding corrections
- Claims stuck due to prior authorization issues
We leverage our extensive experience in behavioral healthcare billing to determine what’s still recoverable—even if those claims have aged beyond what many billing companies would consider worth pursuing.
Recommendations for Process Improvement
Our goal is not only to fix past issues but to strengthen your billing operations moving forward. After our analysis, we provide a detailed summary of:
- Revenue opportunities
- Trends causing denials or delays
- Workflow inefficiencies
- Payer-specific concerns
- Training needs or documentation improvements
This ensures your team is equipped to reduce future AR buildup.
Understanding is Key
Why Behavioral Healthcare Providers Often Have Hidden Revenue
From small practices to multi-state treatment centers, behavioral health organizations tend to face barriers that lead to accumulating AR. Understanding why this happens is critical to preventing it. Below are some of the most common reasons we see:
Frequent Changes in Payer Guidelines
Behavioral health is subject to some of the fastest-changing rules in healthcare. What was billable last year—or even last month—may not be billable today unless proper documentation or authorization is in place. These constant shifts often lead to missed reimbursement opportunities.
High Patient Volume and Complex Schedules
Unlike surgical practices with predictable billing patterns, behavioral health programs may see patients multiple times per week, group sessions, or varied levels of care. Without consistent review, small errors compound quickly.
Understaffed or Overextended Billing Teams
Many providers do not have the staff or expertise to keep up with AR follow-up, especially when dealing with large caseloads or multi-facility programs. As a result, claims get pushed aside as new billing tasks arise.
Lack of Transparency from Previous Billing Teams
Whether due to turnover, outsourcing, or outdated reporting methods, many providers are unaware of the status of their AR until aging claims are too old to fix. Our analysis gives them a clear picture of what has really been happening behind the scenes.
Chronic Underpayments
Behavioral health is notorious for payers reimbursing incorrectly or inconsistently. Without analysis, underpayments often go unnoticed.
Because of these challenges, an annual—or ideally, semiannual—AR review is essential.
Our Features
How Innovative Billing Solutions Stands Apart
Boutique Approach, Big Impact
When we conduct an AR analysis, we dig deeper than larger companies are able—or willing—to do. We don’t rely on automated scripts or surface-level metrics. We manually examine claims with the expertise that comes from years of specializing in addiction treatment and mental health billing.
Feels Like an In-House Team
Our goal is for our clients to feel like we are sitting in the office next door—accessible, communicative, proactive, and invested in your success.
Focused on Recovering Lost Revenue
We have built our reputation on finding money that other billing teams missed, wrote off prematurely, or never pursued. It’s not just a tagline—it’s a measurable outcome.
Always Adapting, Always Learning
Billing rules are constantly changing. We stay on top of the latest requirements, payer updates, and compliance changes so you don’t have to. Your AR reflects the past, but our analysis prepares you for the future.
As a close-knit, boutique-style team, we provide hands-on attention to every client.
