Specialty Practice Payment Posting Automation

Illustrative Revenue Cycle Automation Scenario. This scenario demonstrates how a healthcare organization could apply revenue-cycle automation. It is not presented as an actual customer result.

The Challenge

A specialty practice received 835 ERAs from 12 different payers. A payment posting specialist spent 25+ hours per week manually posting payments, leaving little time for reconciliation or underpayment detection. Posting errors created month-end reconciliation headaches. Underpayments went unnoticed.

The Approach

1

Sarva automated 835 ERA parsing and posting for all 12 payers.

2

Payments were matched to claims and posted within minutes of ERA receipt.

3

Short pays were automatically flagged for underpayment comparison against contract rates.

4

Month-end reconciliation was automated with batch-level matching.

Illustrative Outcomes

Posting time
Illustrative reduction from 25+ hours to under 2 hours per week (exceptions only)
Posting accuracy
Illustrative improvement to above 99%
Month-end reconciliation
Illustrative reduction from 3–4 days to same-day

Outcomes are illustrative and do not represent actual customer results.

Key Lessons

  • Automated ERA posting eliminates the highest-volume manual task in RCM.
  • Automated underpayment detection recovers revenue that manual posting misses.
  • Same-day reconciliation replaces multi-day month-end close.
