Ever had a claim bounce back for a missing x-ray or a late filing? It’s a gut punch—especially when you realize $50K-$100K slips away yearly. That’s 5-10% of revenue most dental practices lose to billing chaos, industry stats say. It’s not just money—it’s your sanity and your team’s morale. Thinking of selling? Every uncollected dollar dents your valuation, potentially costing you $80K-$120K at a 1-1.5x multiple. I’ve spent years fixing this with my AR Rescue service, and here’s the good news: you can take that cash back—starting today.
The Pain Is Real
Picture $80K in claims stuck in limbo—missing perio charts, outdated fee schedules, EFTs lost in your ledger. Your team’s chasing payments instead of greeting patients, and you’re half-joking, “Guess I’ll pull my own teeth!” Financial stress isn’t funny—it’s a burnout beast. If you’re prepping for a sale, it’s worse: messy books mean a lower payout. That’s your hard-earned cash, vanishing into the insurance abyss.
One Simple Fix
Here’s the lifeline: audit your accounts receivable. Pull your last 6 months of unpaid claims and check four things:
- ⚬ Missing docs (x-rays, narratives—up to 25% of denials).
- ⚬ Old fee schedules (undercharging 10-15% per claim).
- ⚬ Late filings (90-day deadlines bite).
- ⚬ Unposted EFTs (banked but not booked).
Half your lost revenue could be hiding here. Resubmit corrected claims, appeal denials, reconcile EFTs—it’s like finding gold in your operatory. You’ve earned it; now claim it.
Why Act Now?
That reclaimed cash isn’t just profit—it’s relief. A happier team focuses on patients, not paperwork. Selling soon? AR cleanup takes 3-6 months to reflect—start now, or your buyer scores a discount. It’s more than dollars—it’s mindset. Flip denials into opportunities, and you’re not just surviving—you’re thriving, sale or no sale.
