    #175 What Is Payment Posting and Why Your AR Is Lying to You

    There’s a number in your practice that looks precise but lies to you every single month: your AR report.  We routinely audit multi-provider practices showing $400K, $600K, even $1M in AR — and 20–40% of that “asset” is already dead. Not collectible. Just trash left behind by bad payment posting.  In this episode — the first in a 4-part series on payment posting — Heather walks through what payment posting actually is, why getting it wrong silently inflates your AR, and the seven specific things that change in your practice when posting is done right.  Inside the episode:  Why your AR report is a mirror of your team’s posting accuracy, not what you’re actually owed How a $400K/month practice dropped their AR by 30% in two weeks — without collecting a dollar more The 7 reasons clean payment posting transforms your revenue cycle The audit moment we found 200+ accounts a week being reworked that were already paid in full What’s coming in Episode 176: the most common insurance-side posting mistake we see in almost every audit If you’re a practice owner, billing lead, or operations director who has ever made a financial decision off an AR report — this is the foundation.  Resources mentioned (Buzzsprout episode resources block)  📊 Free Payment Posting Audit Checklist  The exact framework we use when we audit a practice.

    #174 Why Your Net Income Doesn't Match Your Bank Account (And How to Fix It)

    Your CPA sends a P&L on the 20th of every month showing a positive bottom line. Then tax season hits — or partners ask for a distribution — and the cash isn't in the bank. Sound familiar? This episode breaks down why standard P&Ls fail private practices doing $150K+/month, and how to replace them with a live financial dashboard that tells you the truth in real time. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE 📊 Practice Revenue Leak Scorecard (free, 60 seconds) Your dashboard is only as accurate as the billing data feeding it. This 60-second diagnostic shows you exactly where your revenue is leaking — before you build a dashboard around bad numbers. 👉 https://eligibility.natrevmd.com/nrm-revenue-scorecard-v3?utm_source=buzzsprout&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=ep174 🩺 Book a billing review with NatRevMD If you want us to look under the hood of your revenue cycle directly: 👉 https://calendly.com/heather-natrevmd/ We cover the 5 reasons every practice owner needs a dashboard (not a delayed P&L): 1. True operating profit — separating partner distributions from operating expenses, so you never spend cash you don't have 2. A clear "raise readiness" threshold — pre-agreed rules so staff raise conversations stop being emotional 3. Exposed expense ratios — clinical comp, admin overhead, per-provider cost coverage, all as % of net collections 4. The 4-hour CPA spreadsheet replaced by a 15-minute partner meeting — same payoff, half the time, current data 5. Real confidence to grow — knowing exactly when you can safely add a provider, expand space, or distribute cash Plus: we walk through the exact prompt we used to build our dashboard with AI (Manus), the HIPAA hard line we never cross, and why none of this matters if your billing data is wrong upstream — we've seen practices with beautiful dashboards 8% off because of denials no one was tracking. ────────────────── ABOUT NATREVMD We're a physician-led revenue cycle company built specifically for independent medical practices doing $150K+/month. Our podcast is rated #2 globally for medical billing & coding podcasts (Feedspot 2025) and ranked in the Top 100 US Healthcare Podcasts (Feedspot 2026).

    #172 Will Your Old AR Ever Pay?

    If your practice has anywhere from $50,000 to $500,000 sitting in the 120+ day Accounts Receivable bucket, we have bad news: most of it isn't coming back. And the reason isn't what your billers are telling you.  Old AR is rarely a payer problem. It's an accountability problem.  We recently took over the AR for a multi-specialty group whose 120+ bucket had ballooned past $300,000. We didn't find complex coding disputes. We found unresolved eligibility issues, missing EOBs sitting on payer portals, ignored write-offs, and billers who were "statussing" claims instead of actually working them.  In this episode, we break down the 6 real reasons claims go to die — and the top 3 strategic oversight actions you must put in place today to hold your billing team accountable and stop the bleeding.  Stop guessing about your financial health.
