Most podiatry practices assume denials start in billing.

They don’t.

Over 60% of denied claims begin at the front desk — during eligibility checks, data entry, or incomplete insurance verification.

One small mistake at check-in can turn into:
• Delayed payments
• Increased AR
• Patient frustration
• Revenue leakage

Billing isn’t just about submitting claims.
It’s about aligning your front desk and revenue cycle from day one.

If your AR keeps growing, the problem may not be your coder — it may be your process.

Front desk decisions don’t stay at the front desk — they show up in your Accounts Receivable 30 days later.

A missed eligibility verification, an unexplained deductible, or incorrect data at check-in can quickly turn into claim denials, unpaid balances, and delayed cash flow.

Medical billing doesn’t start when the claim is submitted.
It starts the moment the patient walks through the door.

📌 No verification today = unpaid balances tomorrow.

Most podiatry practices don’t lose revenue because of billing.
They lose it because of broken or inconsistent processes.

When eligibility isn’t verified,
deductibles aren’t explained,
and follow-ups aren’t consistent,
revenue quietly slips away week after week.

Billing isn’t just about sending claims.
It’s about having control over the system that supports your practice.

We’re here to help you clean it up and get your billing back on track.

“We’ll bill them later” is one of the most expensive habits in medical practices.

In January, deductibles reset, patient responsibility increases, and delayed collection turns into lost revenue fast.
What isn’t collected upfront is often never collected in full.

Strong front-end processes protect cash flow and reduce write-offs all year long.

01/23/2026

January is when cash flow problems become visible.

When benefits aren’t verified and copays aren’t collected upfront, practices end up carrying patient balances they were never meant to finance.
With deductibles resetting in January, those balances grow quickly and payments slow down.

Your practice shouldn’t function as a bank.
Strong front-end processes protect your revenue from day one.

01/21/2026

January exposes the disconnect between the front desk and billing.

When insurance responsibility isn’t explained clearly at check-in, billing ends up dealing with confused patients, delayed payments, and unnecessary stress for everyone involved.

“Processed” does not mean “paid.”
And when expectations aren’t set upfront, practices pay the price all year long.

Clear communication at the front desk protects your revenue and your team.

January cash flow issues aren’t caused by “slow season.”
They’re caused by reset deductibles and changing insurance rules.

When practices don’t adjust their front-end and billing processes in January, the impact is predictable:
• Open patient balances
• Delayed claims
• Increased patient confusion

January doesn’t create the problem
it exposes it.

Strong processes protect your revenue all year long.

01/19/2026

January is when deductible confusion shows up in every medical office.

Patients don’t realize that deductibles reset on January 1 — even if they’ve had the same insurance for years.
And when eligibility isn’t verified upfront, practices end up with delayed payments, open balances, and frustrated patients.

This isn’t a patient problem.
It’s a process problem.

Educating early and verifying benefits at check-in makes all the difference.

01/15/2026

January isn’t slow it’s mismanaged.

Every year, practices lose thousands not because patients don’t want to pay…
but because the process at check-in wasn’t done right.

No updated cards.
No eligibility verification.
No copay collection.

And billing ends up chasing money that should’ve been secured at the front desk.

Fix it in January or fight write-offs all year.

01/14/2026

January is not slow.
Your billing process is.

New year = new deductibles, new insurance plans, new patient balances.
And if your front desk isn’t following a structured January intake process, your cash flow will feel it.

Every January we see the same patterns in podiatry practices:

• Demographics not fully updated
• Insurance cards missing or outdated
• Eligibility not verified
• Copays not collected upfront
• Claims delayed
• Patient balances growing

Your January workflow sets the financial tone for your entire year.

Clean intake = clean claims.
Clean claims = faster payments.

Save this reel.
And if your team needs help tightening your intake and billing workflows, we can help.
