Denials and accounts receivable
Bring structure to unresolved claims
A denied or unpaid claim needs a visible status and a practical next step. Performance Revenue Group helps physical therapy practices focus on tracking denials and accounts receivable, so open items can be reviewed and follow-up can be directed deliberately.
Know what is still outstanding
Accounts receivable follow-up begins with a useful view of open claims: what has been paid, what remains unresolved, and what response or action may be needed. Tracking approaches may be tailored to the information available and the practice’s priorities.
Use denial details to guide follow-up
Denials can call for different responses depending on the payer’s explanation and the claim record. Reviewing denial information may help distinguish items that need correction, additional information, payer contact, or another next step.
- Open-claim status tracking
- Denial reason review
- Follow-up prioritization
Keep action and status connected
Recording what was reviewed and what remains pending can make ongoing follow-up easier to coordinate. The right approach depends on the practice’s processes and the scope of support selected.

Frequently asked questions
What is accounts receivable follow-up in medical billing?
It is the process of monitoring unpaid claims, reviewing their current status, and determining an appropriate next action based on available information.

No. The payer’s stated reason and the details of the claim help inform what may be appropriate, such as reviewing the record, correcting information, or pursuing follow-up.
