84% Collection Rate. On Accounts Averaging 224 Days Old.
Numbers do not negotiate. And aged accounts do not get easier to collect with time — they get harder, and eventually, they get written off. The case study below shows what happened when experienced people focused on accounts that everyone else had run out of time to work.
Home Health Agency Partnership
The best time to judge a billing partner is when things have already gone wrong. When a home health agency in the Mid-Atlantic region came to us, they were dealing with a billing system conversion that had stalled and a staffing shortage that left claims unworked. The result: 375 accounts had aged to an average of 224 days, totaling $241K in at-risk revenue that was headed for write-off. KeyMed Partners assigned dedicated specialists, tracked every account, reported progress in real time, and achieved an 84% collection rate on those placed accounts. Every step is detailed below.
The Client
A multi-site home health provider operating in the Mid-Atlantic region. The agency serves a diverse patient population across multiple locations and manages a complex payer mix including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance.
The Challenge
The agency was undergoing a major billing system conversion while simultaneously facing staffing shortages. These compounding challenges led to a rapidly aging accounts receivable portfolio that demanded immediate attention and specialized expertise.
