Stop Leaving Hard-Earned Money Behind and Optimize Your Urology Practice’s Billing
Let’s be honest—running a urology practice isn’t just about treating patients anymore. It’s also about keeping up with complex medical billing rules, pre-authorizations, and insurance denials that seem to pop up out of nowhere.
And here’s the real kicker: Even if your schedule is packed, your practice might still be losing revenue.
In 2024, 15-20% of urology claims were denied on the first attempt—most due to coding mistakes or missing pre-authorizations. That’s money delayed or, worse, lost completely. So, how do you stop revenue leaks and make sure you’re paid fully and on time? It all comes down to healthcare Revenue Cycle Management (RCM). Let’s break it down.
Where Does Revenue Slip Away?
If your revenue cycle feels like a never-ending chase for payments, you’re not alone. Urology billing is complicated, with a mix of diagnostic tests, minor procedures, and major surgeries—each requiring precise coding and proper documentation.
Here’s what’s causing most practices to lose money:
- Slow Payments: If it takes 45+ days to get paid, your practice is in trouble.
- Denied Claims: 30% of urology claims were denied in 2024 because of coding issues.
- Pre-Authorization Problems: 1 in 4 denials happened because prior approval wasn’t secured.
- Underpayments: Insurers don’t always pay what they should, and most practices don’t have time to fight back.
But the good news? A strong RCM strategy can fix these issues.
Key Numbers You Should Be Watching!
Your practice’s financial health depends on tracking the right metrics. If you’re not keeping an eye on these, you might be losing thousands without realizing it.

What It Means |
Why It Matters |
Days in A/R |
How long it takes to get paid. |
If it’s over 40 days, your cash flow is struggling. |
First Pass Resolution Rate (FPRR) |
% of claims paid on first attempt. |
90%+ is ideal—anything less means delays. |
Clean Claim Rate |
% of claims sent error-free. |
A 95%+ clean claim rate = fewer denials. |
Denial Rate |
% of claims rejected by payers. |
Over 10%? You’re losing money. |

How to Fix Your Urology Billing & Get Paid Faster?
If you’re constantly chasing payments, correcting denials, or waiting too long to get paid, you need a smarter approach to RCM. Here’s what top-performing urology practices are doing to boost collections and reduce headaches.
1. Get Pre-Authorizations Right (or Get Denied!)
Many urology treatments require pre-approval, and if you miss one step, you don’t get paid.
- In 2024, practices that automated pre-authorizations saw a 40% drop in denials.
- Those that relied on manual tracking lost thousands due to missed approvals.
Using RCM software to track and submit approvals saves time, frustration, and revenue.
2. Improve Coding Accuracy & Avoid Payment Delays
Did you know 30% of denied claims in 2024 were due to coding errors? Urology has complex billing codes, and even small mistakes can delay payments for weeks.
The fix?
✅ Regular coding audits—catch mistakes before claims go out.
✅ Quarterly staff training—keep up with CPT and ICD-10 changes.
✅ RCM software with built-in coding checks—reduce human errors.
A well-coded claim is a paid claim.
3. Speed Up Payments with Better Technology
Manual billing is too slow for today’s fast-paced insurance world.
- In 2024, urology practices that switched to automated RCM saw payments arrive 25% faster.
- Denial rates dropped by 50% in clinics that used AI-powered error checks.
With an automated system, you can:
✅ Track claims in real time.
✅ Spot errors before submission.
✅ Send claims faster & get paid quicker.
Thinking About Outsourcing Your RCM? Here’s Why It Might Be a Smart Move
Even with a great in-house team, keeping up with payer rule changes, coding updates, and compliance regulations is overwhelming. That’s why more urology practices are outsourcing RCM in 2025.
Why More Urology Practices Are Outsourcing:
✅ Fewer billing errors—Experts handle coding & claims.
✅ Faster payments—Professional RCM teams reduce A/R days.
✅ More time for patients—Your staff focuses on care, not paperwork.
✅ Higher revenue—Practices that outsourced saw a 30% increase in collections.
If billing is slowing your practice down, outsourcing could be the game-changer you need.
