Accounting for revenue that arrives on payer time

A practice’s AR is not one bucket - it is separate aging schedules for commercial, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay, each collecting on its own timeline. And with several providers billing under one entity, the books need production-level visibility, not just a blended P&L.

• Insurance AR: charges must age by payer class, since commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid collect at very different speeds.
• Days in AR: the standard revenue-cycle health metric needs to be computed continuously, not estimated at month-end.
• Multi-provider accounting: production-based compensation needs clean, provider-level revenue and cost data.
• Compliance: payer audits and reviews demand documented, traceable books - not a shoebox of billing reports.

• AR aging runs by payer class, not just by invoice date, so a stale Medicaid claim doesn’t hide behind a fast-paying commercial balance.
• Cash flow forecasting models collections by payer-mix-weighted lag rather than assuming billed equals collected.
• AI accounting maintains a provider dimension, so production, allocated cost, and margin are visible per provider, not just for the group.
• Compliance, powered by SentriAI, keeps controls and documentation audit-ready for payer reviews and audits year-round.
• Payroll handles clinical and administrative staff, including production-based compensation, on a verified tax engine.
