An orthopedic group got paid 24 days sooner

An orthopedic group in California handed PhysiAssist its whole revenue cycle in 2025. Within 45 days, days in AR fell from 59 to 35, so cash from every visit and procedure arrived more than three weeks earlier.

The situation

Where they started

The group had a busy surgical and clinic schedule, but cash was arriving slowly: on average, a claim took 59 days to turn into money.

Front-end checks, coding, claim follow-up and denials sat with different people, so no one owned a claim from visit to payment. In 2025 the group moved its entire revenue cycle to PhysiAssist.

What we did

How we did it

  1. Week 1

    One owner per claim

    Every open and new claim got a named owner on our team, visible in the live dashboard.

  2. Weeks 1–3

    Clean claims at the source

    Eligibility, authorizations and coding were checked before claims went out, so fewer came back.

  3. Weeks 2–5

    AR worked by age

    Open balances were worked from the oldest bucket down, with payer follow-up on a fixed schedule.

  4. Weeks 3–6

    Denials fixed at the cause

    Each denial pattern was traced to the step that caused it and fixed there.
