Cash flow improvement
The starting position
Complex cardiology procedures were producing frequent coding errors and underpayments, particularly around the technical and professional component split. AR days averaged 62, with significant aging receivables creating persistent cash flow pressure.
What we did
We deployed cardiology-specialized coders, implemented pre-authorization verification on all interventional procedures, and began aggressive AR follow-up driven by systematic aging report review.
What changed
- Clean claim rate reached 97% on cardiology procedures
- AR days reduced from 62 to 24
- Cash flow improved 45%
- $180,000 in aging AR recovered within the first six months
“The transparency and expertise Vizora brings to our billing has been invaluable. We finally have predictable cash flow and clear visibility into our revenue cycle.”
