No reports. No clicks. Just ask, and Aera answers with the context and does the work. ## Your team works claims, not data entry. Automation absorbs the repetitive work so the people who understand payers spend their time on the claims that need judgment. - Automation handles routine validation and posting; the team focuses on high-value expertise. - Issues are visible before they become denials, and fixable upstream. - You know where every claim stands in real time instead of chasing status. - Cleaner claims, faster processing, fewer denials. And a better first-pass yield. - KPI dashboards, performance by payer, and predictive alerts on at-risk claims. - Reduced A/R aging, because proactive follow-up moves claims through faster. - Documentation feedback arrives as a pattern, not a pile of denials weeks later. - Fewer requests to go back and amend notes for claims that already went out. ## Denials traced to the source in seconds, not hours. ## Most billing work starts after the claim is submitted. Aera starts before the note is signed. It checks the claim against the note while the note is still open, so it prevents the denial instead of routing it. Scrubs the claim against format and code rules Validates the claim against the clinical note before it goes Submits and waits for the payer’s answer Predicts denial risk and flags root causes upstream Delivers denials to a queue for manual rework Returns denials with the reason, the evidence and the fix Applies the same rules to every payer Learns your payers’ patterns and adjusts before the next claim Requires someone to chase claim status Shows every claim’s status in real time, with drill-down to detail You decide what Aera Revenue submits on its own. Clean claims can move automatically, or wait for your review. You set the rules, and complex issues come to your billers with the cause and next step ready. > “That is perfect.

Aera Revenue manages the rehab therapy revenue cycle from documented care to collected revenue. It prevents avoidable claim issues before submission, automates routine billing and payment work, and follows each claim through resolution, bringing billers only the exceptions, with the root cause and next step already assembled. ### How does Aera Revenue reduce claim denials? It checks documentation, coding and payer requirements while the clinician is still in the note, so gaps are corrected before signing and more claims go out clean the first time. When a denial does happen, Aera traces it to the source and applies the correction upstream. ### Does Aera Revenue submit claims automatically? Yes. Clean claims move from signed notes through submission, status monitoring, correction and payment automatically. You decide what runs on its own and what waits for approval, and billers work only the claims that need judgment. ### Does Aera Revenue handle patient billing too? Yes. Balances are delivered by text and email, with online payments, card on file, self-service payment plans and pay-later options, and follow-up continues until each balance is resolved.
