Stronger reimbursement, start to finish.

Our Arizona-based coding and billing team handles patient access, claims follow-up, and A/R visibility. Engage it standalone or alongside other services.

Three things to confirm before you choose a billing team.

Where the work is done, who is credentialed to do it, and what performance looks like.

  • Arizona-based team

    All coding, billing, and A/R work is performed by AZI's Arizona-based team.

  • AAPC credentials on the team

    Certified Professional Coder (CPC), Certified Professional Biller (CPB), and Certified Professional Medical Auditor (CPMA).

  • Performance benchmarks

    25

    days in A/R target

    93-98%

    net collection rate

How these numbers are calculated

Days in A/R: 25-day benchmark
Total accounts receivable at month-end divided by average daily charges over the trailing 90 days.
Net collection rate: 93-98% benchmark
Payments received divided by charges less contractual adjustments, measured over the same trailing 90 days.

Both metrics are calculated from your own claims data and reported to you monthly in a written performance review, with a named AZI owner listed against each number.

Benchmark ranges reflect AZI client performance and vary with payer mix, specialty, fee schedule, and claim volume. Your baseline and monthly target are set from your own historical data during onboarding, using the calculation methods stated above. Supporting data available on request.

Revenue cycle problems AZI is hired to fix.

We pinpoint the specific breakdowns that quietly drain revenue, from missed authorizations to aging claims, and put practical routines in place to resolve them.

Front-end readiness

  • Eligibility and authorization gaps Strengthen access workflows, referral tracking, payer requirements, and prior-authorization readiness.
  • Avoidable denials Improve root-cause review and prevention workflows tied to eligibility, authorization, coding, and payer-specific rules.

Claims and follow-up

  • Aged A/R Create prioritized follow-up structures with clearer ownership, urgency, and escalation paths.
  • Charge and documentation lag Improve visibility into charge capture, documentation handoffs, and process bottlenecks.

Reporting and visibility

  • Payer readiness Support credentialing, enrollment, and participation tracking so billing readiness stays visible.
  • No visibility into A/R or denials Build the monthly reporting package: A/R by age, denial reasons, and open items with named owners.

Getting started

What the first month usually looks like.

Revenue cycle work starts with finding out where the money is stuck. AZI measures the current state and reports it back before recommending changes to how your team works.

  1. Baseline and access

    We look at A/R by age and by payer and sample recent denials, which usually means read-only access to your practice management system. Your team keeps working as it does today.

  2. Root cause

    Denials get grouped by cause rather than by code: eligibility, authorization, coding, registration, and payer rule. Enrollment and participation status is checked for the providers in scope.

  3. Queues in scope

    Once priorities are agreed, AZI works the queues in scope alongside your staff, typically oldest recoverable balances first, with clearinghouse rejections cleared before anything is resubmitted.

  4. Written baseline

    You get a written baseline covering days in A/R, net collection rate, top denial reasons by payer, and the aged balances judged recoverable, with a named owner against open items.

Targets are set after the baseline, not before it. Scope and sequence vary with the size of your A/R, the systems already in place, and what your team keeps in house. How an engagement is structured

Arizona-based medical billing questions, answered.

Where the work is done, who is credentialed to do it, and what performance you should expect.

Where is AZI's coding and billing work performed?

All coding, billing, and A/R follow-up for AZI clients is performed by our Arizona-based team.

Are AZI coders and billers certified?

Yes. AZI coding and billing staff hold AAPC credentials, including the Certified Professional Coder (CPC), Certified Professional Biller (CPB), and Certified Professional Medical Auditor (CPMA).

What days in A/R and collection rate should I expect?

AZI works to a 25-day target for days in A/R and a net collection rate of 93-98%. Typical results, not a guarantee. Days in A/R is total accounts receivable at month-end divided by average daily charges over the trailing 90 days. Net collection rate is payments received divided by charges less contractual adjustments, measured over the same trailing 90 days. Both are calculated from your own claims data and reported monthly in a written performance review with a named AZI owner against each number. Your baseline and monthly target are set from your own historical data during onboarding, and ranges vary with payer mix, specialty, fee schedule, and claim volume. Supporting data available on request.

Does AZI handle patient scheduling as well as billing?

Yes. Centralized scheduling and billing is offered as part of AZI revenue cycle management. Scheduling, eligibility, and prior authorization are handled in one place and hand off directly into claim submission.

Which parts of the revenue cycle does AZI cover?

AZI works across five areas: patient access, covering eligibility, referrals, and authorization workflows; centralized scheduling and billing; payer readiness, covering enrollment, credentialing, and participation tracking; claims and recovery, covering denials, payment posting, A/R follow-up, and recovery support; and performance reporting, covering KPI definitions, ownership, and continuous improvement.

What revenue cycle problems does AZI typically help bring under control?

Common starting points include eligibility and authorization gaps, avoidable denials, aged A/R, charge and documentation lag, payer readiness and credentialing visibility, and limited performance reporting. AZI pinpoints the specific breakdowns that quietly drain revenue and puts the missing controls in place to resolve them.

How is performance reported?

Days in A/R and net collection rate are calculated from your own claims data and reported monthly in a written performance review, with a named AZI owner against each number. Your baseline and monthly target are set from your own historical data during onboarding.

Operational support for the revenue cycle system, not isolated billing tasks.

AZI brings a practical operating approach to revenue cycle support, helping teams strengthen workflows, improve visibility, clarify ownership, and reduce administrative friction for more consistent reimbursement performance.

Your revenue cycle is worked by an Arizona-based team holding credentials issued by AAPC: Certified Professional Coder (CPC), Certified Professional Biller (CPB), and Certified Professional Medical Auditor (CPMA). Total days in A/R and net collection rate are reported to your leadership every month, with a named owner against each number. Actual performance varies with payer mix, specialty, and fee schedule.
