You saw it in the P&L two quarters before anyone else
Production is up, collections are flat, receivables are growing faster than revenue, and the owner is convinced the problem is volume. You can name the number precisely and you cannot fix it from inside the books — because the cause is three steps upstream, in the claim.

What a healthcare CPA or fractional CFO gets from this partnership
MedPrecision handles the revenue cycle your clients' financial statements are already reporting on — claim submission, denial management, A/R follow-up, payment posting and credentialing — and does no accounting, tax, attest or CFO work of any kind. Partners can offer their client base a free revenue-cycle audit delivered as a written gap analysis within 5 business days of read-only access, plus an optional co-branded revenue-cycle review checklist for quarterly client meetings and a KPI dashboard template. Every benchmark threshold behind our metrics is published with its HFMA, MGMA or AAFP source attached, so your review does not have to take our word for anything.
- We do no tax, attest, or fractional CFO work — nothing to compete over
- Free written gap analysis for your clients in 5 business days
- Benchmark thresholds published with sources, not asserted
- Fee-free reciprocal track if independence rules make a fee undesirable
Six things you see in the numbers that mean the revenue cycle, not the market
Each row pairs what shows up in the financials with the operating metric that explains it. The benchmark thresholds sit on the linked pages, alongside the HFMA, MGMA and AAFP sources they came from.
| What you see | Metric | What it usually means |
|---|---|---|
| Collections flat while production climbs | Net collection rate Net collection rate benchmarks | Charges are being written off, adjusted, or denied without appeal. Production growth that does not reach the bank is a revenue-cycle failure, not a volume problem. |
| Receivables growing faster than revenue | Days in A/R Days in A/R thresholds | Claims are going out and not coming back. The balance sheet shows a working-capital problem; the cause is upstream in submission and follow-up. |
| A large and growing 90+ day bucket | Aged A/R over 90 days as a share of total A/R Aged A/R benchmarks | Nobody is working the tail. Every month this bucket grows, a portion crosses timely filing and becomes permanently uncollectable — a write-off that was avoidable. |
| Contractual adjustments creeping up year over year | Adjustment rate vs contracted fee schedule Payment posting and variance detection | Either the fee schedule is not loaded correctly, or the practice is being underpaid against its own contracts and nobody is checking remittances against them. |
| Billing salaries and software eating margin | Cost to collect Billing cost calculator | In-house billing carries salary, benefits, turnover, software and clearinghouse costs that rarely get consolidated into one line. Once they are, the comparison usually surprises the owner. |
| Credit balances accumulating | Unapplied and credit balance aging Medical billing audit | Overpayments and misapplied postings that were never reconciled. A compliance exposure as much as an accounting one, since refunds owed to federal payers have deadlines. |
Why this referral is easier than most
Recommending a vendor puts your judgment on the line, which is why most advisors do it reluctantly. The revenue-cycle case is unusually low-risk for three structural reasons, and they are worth stating plainly.
-
The diagnosis is verifiable before anyone is hired
A free audit produces a written gap analysis within 5 business days of read-only access. Your client sees findings on their own data before committing to anything, and so do you. If the analysis is thin, you have learned that cheaply and told the client nothing you cannot defend.
-
The pricing aligns without needing to be trusted
Billing is priced as a percentage of collections — 7.0% for solo practices, 6.0% for group practices — with no setup fees on standard EMR/EHR platforms and no per-claim charges. A vendor paid on collections that fails to collect is not paid. That is a structure you can explain to a client in one sentence.
-
The outcome is measurable in the reports you already read
Net collection rate, days in A/R, aged A/R over 90 days, and first-pass denial rate all come out of the practice’s own system. Agree them at the start and the engagement grades itself, without either of us supplying the scorecard.
What CPAs and fractional CFOs ask us first
Offer the audit to your client base
A free written revenue-cycle gap analysis your clients can take, delivered in 5 business days, with no obligation to engage us afterward.
Start a partner conversation arrow_forwardWhy would a CPA introduce a billing company at all?
Because the diagnosis usually lands on your desk first and the remedy is not an accounting engagement. When collections decouple from production, or receivables grow faster than revenue, you can see the problem precisely in the numbers and cannot fix it inside the books. Handing the client a specific, competent referral closes a loop that otherwise stays open across several quarterly conversations — and the client remembers who solved it.
Do you do accounting, tax or CFO work that competes with me?
No. MedPrecision does billing, coding, denial management, A/R follow-up, credentialing and revenue-cycle analytics. We do not prepare returns, do not perform attest work, do not provide fractional CFO services, and do not advise on entity structure or compensation planning. Our analytics stop at revenue-cycle KPIs — days in A/R, net collection rate, denial rate — and are designed to feed your analysis, not replace it.
What do I get out of it besides a solved client problem?
A free revenue-cycle audit offered to your client base as a benefit of working with you — a written gap analysis within 5 business days of read-only access, delivered whether or not the client engages us. Optionally a co-branded revenue-cycle review checklist for your annual or quarterly client meetings, a joint webinar to your list, and a KPI dashboard template your clients can actually maintain. Where a referral fee applies it is a flat amount agreed in advance, never a percentage of collections.
Can a CPA firm accept a referral fee here?
Generally yes under the federal analysis — accountants do not sit in a position to make or influence patient-care or ordering decisions, which is the position the Anti-Kickback Statute turns on. Two caveats we would rather raise than let you discover: several states restrict fee-splitting arrangements in healthcare more broadly, and your own professional independence rules may make a fee undesirable regardless of whether it is lawful. The fee-free reciprocal track exists precisely for this — every non-cash offer on this page is available with no money moving in either direction.
How do I know the billing is actually improving after the referral?
The same way you would audit anything else: agree the metrics before the engagement starts and measure them afterward. Net collection rate, days in A/R, aged A/R over 90 days as a share of total, and first-pass denial rate are the four that matter, and each is calculable from the practice’s own reports without taking our word for anything. The benchmark thresholds behind them are published on this site with their HFMA, MGMA and AAFP sources attached rather than asserted.
