The problem

Patient balances pile up across every client practice

RCM teams manage patient balances across many client practices at once. Manual queues, fragmented outreach, and inconsistent reporting make it hard to scale collector capacity — and harder still to show each practice what was actually done on its behalf.

  • Manual queues built by hand
  • Outreach differs by collector
  • Promises tracked off-system
  • Reporting hard to assemble by practice

How CFN works

A patient A/R workflow, end to end

Ingest and map patient A/R data, prioritize the worklist, run configured outreach, capture promises and payments, then report results by practice and across the portfolio.

01

One view of patient A/R

Patient balances from every client practice are ingested or mapped into a single, consistent model.

Across client practices

02

Prioritized follow-up

Worklists put collector attention on the accounts most likely to move, instead of a flat queue.

Worklist-driven

03

Consistent outreach

Configured templates and schedules keep patient follow-up steady regardless of who is working the file.

Configured, not ad hoc

04

Commitments tracked

Promises to pay and payments are captured against the account and followed up when they slip.

Promise-to-pay visibility

05

Client-ready reporting

Patient-pay performance is reported by practice and rolled up across the portfolio.

Practice and portfolio

06

Built for many practices

One RCM workspace supports a portfolio of client practices through a repeatable onboarding pattern.

Multi-practice by design

Capabilities

Five feature areas, plus a traceable record

Each area is configurable per client practice and works alongside the billing, practice-management, and payment systems you already run.

A/R Worklists

Ingest or map patient A/R data from each client practice and turn it into a prioritized follow-up worklist your collectors work every day.

  • Reusable data mapping per client practice
  • Prioritization by balance, age, and status
  • Worklists assigned by collector or practice

Outreach Templates & Scheduling

Configure patient outreach once and schedule it consistently, so follow-up cadence no longer depends on who is working the queue.

  • Templates configured per practice and balance tier
  • Scheduled, repeatable follow-up cadence
  • Outreach activity recorded on the account

Promise-to-Pay Tracking

Capture patient commitments and track them to completion, with clear visibility into what was promised, what was paid, and what needs another touch.

  • Promises captured at the point of contact
  • Kept, broken, and pending status tracking
  • Automatic follow-up on missed commitments

Payment-Link Integration

Connect the outreach step to your existing patient payment experience so a follow-up contact can convert into a payment without leaving the workflow.

  • Works alongside your current payment provider
  • Payment links attached to outreach
  • Payment outcomes reflected on the worklist

Practice & Portfolio Reporting

Report patient-pay performance by client practice and across the portfolio, so results are easy to review internally and share with clients.

  • Practice-level collection performance
  • Portfolio roll-up across client practices
  • Collector activity and follow-up coverage

Audit History & Traceability

Supporting capability: every worklist action, outreach, promise, and payment is retained so activity can be reconstructed and explained.

  • Account-level activity trail
  • User and timestamp on every action
  • Role-based, practice-scoped record access

The process

From patient A/R data to practice-level results

Five stages that replace manual queues and scattered follow-up with a repeatable routine your collectors run every day.

  1. 01

    Ingest & map

    Patient A/R data arrives from each client practice and is mapped once to a consistent model.

  2. 02

    Prioritize

    Accounts are scored into worklists so collectors work the balances that matter first.

  3. 03

    Outreach

    Configured templates and schedules trigger consistent patient follow-up.

  4. 04

    Capture

    Promises to pay and payments are recorded against the account as they happen.

  5. 05

    Report

    Results are reported by client practice and across the whole portfolio.

Who it is for

Revenue-cycle organizations managing patient A/R

CohesiveFIN is bought and operated by the RCM partner, and deployed across the client practices they serve.

RCM partners

Revenue-cycle management organizations managing patient A/R follow-up across multiple provider practices.

Billing organizations

Teams responsible for patient-pay follow-up on behalf of their clients, looking to scale collector capacity.

RCM firms serving provider groups

Firms supporting physician groups, clinics, and multi-practice provider networks under one operating model.

What makes it different

Built for RCM operations, not clinic-direct billing

Your team stays in control, the workflow stays visible, and the record of patient follow-up stays intact.

Built for RCM operations

One organization, many client practices — worklists, templates, roles, and reporting all assume the RCM operating model rather than a single clinic.

A patient A/R operations layer

CohesiveFIN sits beside your billing, claims, and practice-management systems. It does not replace core claims processing or your team.

Healthcare data-handling posture

Designed around healthcare data-handling practices: minimum-necessary information, role-based access, and practice-scoped separation.

Your team stays in control

Prioritization and outreach are configured by your operations leads, and people decide how accounts are worked.

Transparent and traceable

Prioritization logic and account activity are visible and retained, not hidden behind a model.

Operator experience behind it

The workflow reflects how revenue-cycle teams actually run patient A/R follow-up, informed by people who have done the work.

How it fits

A patient A/R operations layer, not a replacement

CohesiveFIN works alongside your billing, practice-management, and payment systems. It does not replace core claims processing or your RCM team — it gives patient A/R follow-up a dedicated workflow.

Implementation

A structured configuration process

Onboarding is a defined setup, not an integration project. It fits alongside the systems you already run.

  1. 01

    Workflow configuration

    Your follow-up stages, prioritization rules, and worklist structure are configured to how your team operates.

  2. 02

    Data mapping

    Patient A/R fields from each client practice are mapped once to a consistent model and reused each cycle.

  3. 03

    Templates & schedules

    Outreach templates and cadence are set up per practice and balance profile, then reviewed before use.

  4. 04

    User roles & reporting

    Roles, practice scoping, and the reports you share with client practices are defined during onboarding.

Design-partner pilot

Shape the product with us

We are inviting a small number of RCM partners into a design-partner pilot. A pilot conversation covers:

  • A defined set of client practices to start with
  • Agreed success measures for patient-pay performance
  • Integration inputs and data-mapping requirements
  • A phased onboarding plan alongside your existing systems
