Payer Mix (Top 3)
Illustrative. Quantified in the 30-day 835 analysis.
Current Billing Infrastructure
Billing Team Load
Payers send lump-sum EFTs with limited remittance detail. Without automated parsing and matching, staff spend significant time attributing bulk deposits to individual claims.
Measured
Hours and dollars, per payer
Provider-Level Balance (PLB) adjustments bury recoupments inside ERA files. Without automated parsing, these appear as unexplained variances and are written off as unrecoverable.
Measured
PLB by type and payer
835 ERA files that can't match to a claim sit unposted. Each day of delay compresses working capital velocity. This is a cash flow impact (not necessarily permanent loss) that compounds cycle over cycle.
Measured
Unpostable cash, by aging
Zero-pay designations can hide recoverable value when claims are miscategorized (patient responsibility vs denial vs appealable). The 30-day analysis quantifies the true mix, by payer and reason code.
Measured
By CARC/RARC category
Commercial underpayments are common. Public benchmarks report that, on average, 1% to 3% of provider net revenue is lost annually to commercial payer underpayment. Until quantified for LMG, we treat ~1% as the planning median and 3% as a high-side sensitivity.
Benchmark source: Becker's Hospital Review (variance/underpayment analysis article).

Combined Annual Revenue at Risk
Quantified In Analysis
Across 5 systematic failure modes. We measure actual dollars by payer, by code, and by root cause.
Revenue leakage at LMG's scale creates compounding exposure across four critical dimensions.
Regulatory Exposure
In employed physician models, productivity-based compensation depends on accurate collections data. If payments are misattributed or unposted, compensation calculations can be inaccurate, creating avoidable compliance and dispute risk.
Risk: Compensation disputes and compliance exposure if compensation calculations are built on incorrect collections data.
Physician Retention
Compensation accuracy and timing is a known driver of dissatisfaction and attrition. Replacement cost is often cited at $500K-$1M per physician, before downstream disruption. (Source: MGMA Stat, 2018)
350+ providers x retention risk at scale = meaningful cost exposure if manual systems continue to fail.
Operational Ceiling
As pod count grows, manual reconciliation requires oversight and throughput that billing teams can't sustainably provide. Automation isn't an efficiency play — it's the prerequisite for growth without operational breakdown.
Automated reconciliation supports growth without linear increases in reconciliation workload.
Competitive Landscape
Private equity-backed physician groups operating in Northern Virginia have deployed automated RCM tooling as a competitive advantage — faster provider compensation, tighter contract compliance, and lower billing overhead. Independent groups using manual processes are at a structural disadvantage in physician recruitment.
The technology gap between LMG and PE-backed competitors widens every billing cycle without automation.
Two active modules, already solving the five drains. No rip-and-replace. No new EHR. Works alongside your existing systems.

LMG Pilot Target — Revenue Protected
Quantified Opportunity
Target: identified within the 45–60 day pilot across 2–3 pods, measured in dollars with evidence.
Billing team shifts from data entry to exceptions only
MedSuite handles routine ERA reconciliation automatically. Your staff focuses on exceptions that require judgment, not repetitive matching.
Every payer contract enforced on every claim
Contract rate variance is flagged automatically — not discovered quarterly in a financial review. Leakage stops at the transaction level, not after it compounds.
Scale as pod count grows without rebuilding your ops infrastructure
Automated reconciliation handles the volume regardless of how many pods you add — your billing team focuses on exception handling and denial appeals, not data entry.
How the Revenue Recovery Process Works — Step by Step
You Provide
30 days of 835 ERA files
Your clearinghouse (Change Healthcare or Waystar) already generates these every time a payer sends a payment or denial. You're currently receiving them — they're just not being fully analyzed.
• ERA files from BCBS, Aetna, or UHC
• Any 30-day window works
• Delivered via secure upload or email
• No EHR access required
MedSuite Does
Ingests & secures your data
Files are immediately processed through PHI masking — all patient identifiers are encrypted before analysis begins. An immutable audit log records every action taken on your data.
• PHI masking enforced on ingest
• Immutable audit trail created
• HIPAA BAA covers all processing
• Data never leaves compliant environment
You Get Back
Confirmation + processing timeline
Typically within 24 hours of file receipt: confirmation that your ERA files were successfully ingested and are queued for analysis. Typical turnaround: 5 business days for the first report.
• Ingest receipt with file count
• PHI masking confirmation
• Expected delivery date
• Secure portal access

Catalyst MedSuite™ includes a native ANSI X12 835 ERA parser and bank EFT deposit matching engine. The 30-day free analysis offer requires only your ERA files — no connection to your EHR, no IT project, no installation. Your files stay within a HIPAA-aligned data handling environment with full PHI masking and immutable audit logging.
Real screens from the running platform — demo dataset, real UI. BulkPayment Discrepancy Analysis and ClaimsDenial Reduction modules.
Send us 30 days of ERA files from any single payer. We'll quantify your actual leakage — with dollar figures and CARC/RARC analysis — before any commitment.
Drop 30 days of 835 ERA files from BCBS, Aetna, or UHC into our HIPAA-secure intake portal. Usually takes about 10 minutes.
Typically within 5 business days: your actual PLB discrepancies, bulk payment misattributions, and contract variance totals. In dollars.
If the numbers justify moving forward, we propose a 45–60 day pilot across 2–3 pods. If not, you keep the analysis — no obligation.
