Introducing RitzeeCare: Focused A/R Recovery and Denial Management

Healthcare practices balance patient care with billing, payer requirements, staffing, and daily administrative responsibilities. When insurance claims remain unpaid or denied, internal teams may not have enough time to research every account, contact payers repeatedly, and track each required next step.

RitzeeCare was established to provide focused support for these challenges. We help healthcare practices investigate outstanding insurance balances, address eligible claim denials, document follow-up activity, and gain clearer visibility into unresolved revenue.

Focused Insurance A/R Recovery

An aging report shows how long a balance has been outstanding, but it does not always explain why the claim remains unpaid. The account may be pending, suspended, missing information, affected by coverage requirements, or awaiting another action.

Depending on the agreed scope, RitzeeCare’s A/R recovery work may include:

  • Reviewing and prioritizing outstanding insurance accounts

  • Researching claim status through authorized payer channels

  • Identifying missing information or payment barriers

  • Communicating with payers

  • Documenting responses and required next steps

  • Coordinating with authorized practice personnel

  • Reporting account activity, status, and outcomes

Recovery depends on factors such as claim age, payer rules, coverage, documentation, deadlines, previous activity, and account status. Payment of an individual claim cannot be guaranteed.

Organized Denial Management

A denied claim may require a correction, additional documentation, payer clarification, or an appeal. The appropriate response depends on the denial reason, available information, payer requirements, and applicable deadlines.

RitzeeCare helps practices review and organize eligible denials by:

  • Identifying and categorizing denial reasons

  • Reviewing payer explanations and claim history

  • Researching available correction or appeal options

  • Coordinating required information with the practice

  • Tracking applicable deadlines and payer responses

  • Documenting completed actions and final outcomes

  • Identifying recurring denial categories

Clinical documentation and coding decisions remain with the practice and its qualified professionals. Appeal responsibilities are defined in the service agreement before work begins.

Transparent Follow-Up and Contingency Pricing

RitzeeCare believes practices should be able to understand what is happening with their accounts. Depending on the engagement, reporting may include accounts reviewed, actions completed, payer responses, identified barriers, information needed from the practice, deadlines, and account outcomes.

RitzeeCare currently offers contingency-based pricing for eligible A/R recovery and denial management engagements. Our fee is calculated as an agreed percentage of revenue successfully recovered through our work. Eligible accounts, exclusions, payment terms, and the method for attributing recovered revenue are documented in the service agreement.

The public RitzeeCare website and contact form are intended only for general business inquiries. Patient names, claim numbers, insurance identifiers, medical records, and other protected health information should not be submitted through the website.

Meet the Founder

RitzeeCare was founded by Amadu Peal, a healthcare professional with experience in medical insurance claims, eligibility and benefits verification, patient billing support, claims-issue resolution, and revenue-cycle communication.

Before founding RitzeeCare, Amadu worked as a Medical Insurance Specialist with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield. His responsibilities included processing claims, verifying eligibility and benefits, explaining coverage and financial responsibility, coordinating with internal teams and insurance providers, and maintaining accurate billing documentation.

His earlier technical and business-support roles strengthened his experience in problem investigation, root-cause identification, documentation, issue escalation, and client communication.

This combination of healthcare and technical experience informs RitzeeCare’s commitment to accuracy, persistence, clear communication, and transparent follow-up.
