Financial Reconciliation Workflow

Payment Posting Services

Payment posting records insurance and patient payments (ERAs/EOBs) against claims accurately, giving practices real-time visibility into revenue and surfacing denials and underpayments early. MSRCM's payment posting services ensure that every payment, adjustment, and write-off is verified against contract rates and recorded inside your practice management system with complete audit trails.

Failing to post payments immediately or posting them incorrectly creates billing discrepancies, credit balances, and delayed recovery of denied claims. MSRCM bridges this gap by offering same-day or next-day payment posting to give you an accurate picture of your practice's financial health.

Our Payment Posting Workflow

We systematically verify and post every remittance advice to ensure absolute financial reconciliation.

1. ERA Auto-Posting & Audit

Automated importing of Electronic Remittance Advices (ERAs) with immediate manual checks for parsing anomalies or exceptions.

2. Manual EOB Entry

Double-key validation of paper Explanations of Benefits (EOBs), inputting insurance checks and virtual credit cards line-by-line.

3. Underpayment Identification

Cross-referencing actual payer payouts against contract fee schedules to immediately isolate and flag underpaid claims.

4. Denial Extraction

Direct routing of claim denials identified during posting to the denial management team within 24 hours to prevent filing-limit losses.

5. Patient Balance Allocation

Accurate allocation of copays, deductibles, and secondary liabilities to patient accounts, preventing duplicate statements.

6. Daily Bank Reconciliation

Verifying that total posted amounts match daily bank deposits and merchant processor statements for zero-balance audits.

The Risks of Delayed Payment Posting

When payment posting is delayed, your entire revenue cycle works blind. Denied claims sit unworked, patient statements go out with outdated or incorrect balances (causing call center frustration), and payer underpayments remain hidden until recovery limits expire.

By outsourcing payment posting to MSRCM, you ensure same-day or next-day turnaround. Your accounts receivable reports stay up to date, giving your leadership team accurate cash flow metrics.

Payment Posting FAQs

Accurate payment posting is crucial because it ensures that patient accounts match actual payments received. It also provides immediate visibility into insurance underpayments, contract adjustments, and claim denials, allowing billing teams to act immediately to recover revenue.
Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) is an automated, electronic explanation of claims payments sent directly by insurance carriers, which can be posted automatically into the billing software. An Explanation of Benefits (EOB) is a paper document that must be manually audited and posted line-by-line by a billing specialist.
