The question this file answersWhy does posting a payment take longer than sending the claim did?
Fits: providers where every encounter generates coding and billing work.
Typical pattern, not a measured billing office — the healthcare playbook says every encounter generates billing work but publishes no count of remittances, so none is claimed. An EOB lands on paper or in a portal; billing hunts the claim, then the patient balance, then emails the payer about the difference.
After the morning remittance run, the biller opens a list of the lines that did not match — an underpayment, a denial code, a patient no one can find — instead of every payment in the batch. Posting the routine ones is no longer typing; chasing the payer still is.
Typical, not a measured client result. Every figure here comes from the playbook source named below.
payment lines matched to the claim — same build as the coding and denials file; nothing published on posting itself
Before: billing hunts the claim and the balance for every explanation of benefits. After: matched lines post as a draft and the underpayments reach a biller with both documents attached. The percentage stays on the coding file.
Nothing has been published on EOB posting specifically. AHIMA (2023) and McKinsey (2023) measure first-pass claim accuracy, not posting; their range stays on the coding file. Not a collections promise.
Your billing system stays — Waystar, Availity, Change Healthcare or the one you run — alongside the EHR. The build is the one in our coding-and-denials file, run on the payment side:
Appeals. Arguments with a payer. Conversations about a patient's balance.
Not a collections promise.
If contracted rates are not loaded in the billing system, nothing can be called an underpayment; that gap shows up as a long review list until the rates are in. Paper EOBs read worse than 835 files, and payers change layouts without warning. The coding range on the parent file (AHIMA, McKinsey, 2023) is about claims and denials; it is not a payment-posting figure, and no appeal is written by the model.
The path: free 60-second estimate → free 20-minute review → paid audit of this one process (€1.5–3K, typically two weeks) → pilot with your people in the loop (€10–20K, weeks, not quarters). No transformation programme. Prices are public, on the services page →
Scoped in the audit — the playbook has no estimate for this exact desk.
That depends on your volumes and wage costs — this page will not invent the number. The free 60-second estimate runs that calculation from your answers, with every multiplier sourced.
