A group practice has many providers and should still have one A/R.
Group billing fails when per provider numbers get averaged into a practice total. Yours should read provider by provider, so the block nobody is watching gets found instead of hidden.
A group’s A/R should read provider by provider, not one average
Averaged into a practice total, a single slow block reads as normal. Per provider and per site reporting is the only way the block surfaces while its claims are still inside filing windows.
Report per provider
Work across sites
Track a shared aging
Providers billed to the wrong standard
Providers wrote their notes under different rules before they joined. A coder carrying a “group” label cannot see which physician is costing the panel.
Locations share an A/R but not a process
Three sites, three front desks, one revenue cycle. The claim that dies in site two never shows up in site one’s numbers.
One specialty drifts inside the group
A slow specialty block gets averaged into the group total and reads as normal. Per provider reporting is the only way it surfaces.
How the account runs for group practices
Here is what the work looks like, from the first review to the next action.
A defined task.
A documented action.
A visible next step.
Free 90 day audit
We read ninety days of your claims and tell you where revenue is stopping for group practices. If your billing is already healthy we will say so, and there is no charge either way.
A team with per provider ownership
Each provider and location has an owner in the reporting, so a slowdown in one site is visible without digging through a practice total.
Payer rules loaded
Your payer mix, their edits and their authorization requirements are set up before the first claim goes out.
Parallel run
We run alongside your current process for the first cycle so nothing is dropped in the handover.
Steady state and reporting
Monthly numbers at the right level of detail, and the aged A/R worked oldest first from day one.
Billed and worked for group practices
Agree the scope with your practice, then keep the day-to-day work organized around it.
- One team across every location
- Per provider and per site reporting
- Credentialing at scale
- Charge entry across sites
- Authorization management
- Denial management by payer and reason code
- Aged A/R worked oldest first
- Monthly reporting by provider
The provider the total hides
Per provider numbers get averaged into a practice total and the block nobody is watching disappears. We read the A/R provider by provider so the slowdown is visible, not smoothed over.
What changes when the whole cycle has one owner
None of this is a criticism of your staff. It is a question of what happens to the queue on a busy day.
| Situation | In the practice today | With iFocusRCM |
|---|---|---|
| A claim is returned | Reassigned to whoever picks it up | Reason coded, next action assigned the same day |
| A payer changes a rule | Found out by getting denied | Picked up in the edit set before submission |
| A balance starts to age | Statements go out when someone remembers | On a fixed statement and follow up cycle |
| One person is away | The queue waits for them | The queue does not know they were away |
| Two sites disagree | Argued at month end | One aging, one process, one report |
A few things to know before we start
The right scope starts with a clear conversation.
Ask it directly. You will get an answer from somebody who works accounts, not a sales script.
Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm Central TimeWe have providers across several sites. One team?
Yes. One revenue cycle team with per site and per provider reporting, so a slowdown in one location is visible without digging.
Can you report per doctor?
Yes, and a group account should read that way. Provider level numbers by procedure family rather than a practice average.
Do you replace our practice administrator?
No. We run the claims and the A/R. Your administrator runs the practice and still answers to you.
How do you handle onboarding several providers at once?
Credentialing runs in parallel for every provider before the first claim goes out, so no one joins the panel late.
An account of this shape uses the whole cycle. These are the pieces most often in it.
