Revolutionize Your RCM: Why Every Billing Company Should Offer Lockboxes

Sasha King

In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare finance, one solution stands out as a game-changer for billing companies and medical practices alike: the lockbox. But not just any lockbox – we're talking about a modern, healthcare-specific lockbox that can transform your revenue cycle management (RCM) process. Let's dive into why this could be your next big move.

The Check is Still in the Mail (Really!)

You might think checks are going the way of the dinosaur, but in healthcare, they're still very much alive:

  • 🏥 27% of medical practice payments come via check
  • 🦷 A whopping 79% of dental practice payments are check-based

These aren't just numbers – they represent a massive opportunity for efficiency and improved cash flow.

The Paper Trail Nightmare

Picture this: A practice receives a check with an explanation of benefits (EOB). What happens next?

1. Mail sits on a desk for days or weeks

2. Open mail by hand

3. Bring checks to the bank or deposit individually

4. Scan mail and upload to billing company

5. Manually input data to practice management system (7 minutes per claim!)

It's a time-consuming process that's ripe for errors and delays. As a billing company, you're left waiting, wondering, and watching as AR climbs.

Enter the Modern Healthcare Lockbox

Imagine a world where:

  • 📬 Mail goes directly to a secure PO Box
  • 💻 All documents are digitized instantly
  • 🤖 EOBs are automatically converted to 835s
  • 💰 Checks are deposited same-day

This isn't a fantasy – it's the reality with Anatomy's modern healthcare lockbox.
