Managing credit balances is a crucial part of revenue cycle management for healthcare providers. Overpayments, duplicate payments, or erroneous patient account credits can create financial inefficiencies and compliance risks. Our Credit Balance Services help providers identify, manage, and resolve these discrepancies efficiently, ensuring accurate billing and financial integrity.
