Billions of dollars sit in unapplied cash across U.S. healthcare each year—payments received but never correctly applied. This hidden problem creates revenue leakage, compliance risks, and patient frustration.
❓ What Is Unapplied Cash?
Unapplied cash occurs when payments are received but not properly matched to patient accounts. Causes include:
- Payer underpayments
- Mismatched remittances
- Manual posting errors
- Incomplete ERA/EOB mapping
