Definition
Accounts Receivable Aging Report is a core RCM report that categorizes unpaid patient and payer balances by how long they have been outstanding (e.g., 0-30, 31-60, 61-90, >120 days). It surfaces collection bottlenecks such as stalled claim adjudications, missing attachments, or slow patient billing. A common benchmark is the share of AR over 90 days; for example, a report showing 28% >90 days signals elevated risk and targeted follow-up needs.
Why it matters
In multi-location enterprises, the aging mix directly drives cash flow and staff prioritization. For a 100-location DSO with $150M in net patient revenue and 45 AR days (~$18.5M in AR), moving just 10% of >90-day balances into current buckets accelerates roughly $1.8M in cash and can shave several days off DSO.
How Ventus helps
Ventus checks claim status with each payer on a schedule and returns the result and any denial reason, so the aging report reflects where claims actually stand. Claims that need a person go to your team with the payer's answer attached.
