Case Study: Bluegrass Kidney Consultants achieves 30% reduction in aging A/R and a 20‑day drop in Days in A/R with Advantum Health revenue cycle services

Kidney Specialist Practice Benefits from Expert Billing and Revenue Cycle Management

Bluegrass Kidney Consultants, an eight-site renal practice based in Louisville, KY, was facing rapidly rising accounts receivable—approaching $1 million—and growing aging A/R due to inconsistent billing processes. To stabilize finances and prepare for value-based reimbursement, the practice engaged Advantum Health for comprehensive revenue cycle management, billing and coding support, and enhanced reporting.

Advantum Health deployed technology-enabled RCM, proactive follow-up and appeals, certified coding education, and integrated reporting that tied seamlessly into the practice’s workflows. The engagement cut total A/R from $998K to $715K (≈28%), reduced aging A/R over 180 days by nearly 30%, lowered days in A/R by about 20 days (from ~75 to ~55), dramatically reduced denials, and improved provider/staff engagement and decision-making.
