Andreâs group therapy practice had a full caseload, with clinicians booked throughout the week as completed sessions moved into billing.
By the time payroll came due, the cash in the bank was lower than he expected. The schedule was packed, and care was being delivered, so Andre wanted to know what happened after those sessions left the calendar and entered the revenue cycle.
He followed the claims into A/R and found some still waiting on payer processing, while reimbursement for others had not reached the bank. The practice had delivered the care, but collections had not caught up with the volume of completed sessions.
The schedule was not wrong. It showed strong utilization, while A/R and reimbursement timing showed Andre why the cash looked different.
Once he saw the lag, Andre stopped treating a full caseload as proof that collections should be strong and started watching how long completed care took to become collected revenue.
If your caseload is full but cash still feels tight, it may be time to trace what is happening between completed sessions and collected revenue.
