Vascular Revenue Cycle Management That Gets You Paid
Denials, slow prior authorizations, coding errors and underpayments quietly drain a busy vascular practice. AVA's vascular revenue cycle management combines automation software, coding expertise and A/R and denial management with benchmarking across our national network. We find what is costing you money, fix it fast and help you get ahead of payer changes before they hit your cash.
These are the problems we hear most from vascular practice owners. They are almost always operational, not market-driven, and they are fixable.
"Prior authorizations are a nightmare, and payers keep delaying or denying claims."
"Coding errors mean we get paid the wrong amount, or not at all."
"Payer reimbursement rates are too low, and they won't negotiate."
"This is so time-consuming, and I don't know how to do it well."

Why Vascular Practices Choose AVA
National Visibility into Payer Trends
AVA supports centers across many states, we see payer behavior that a single practice can't. We spot trends across territories, flag concerns early and advise you on how to respond.
Medicare contractor payment changes. When centers on the Gulf Coast faced cash disruption tied to Novitas, the regional Medicare contractor, AVA identified the shift in payment timing and helped them plan around it to protect cash flow.
Embolization audits. As payers began auditing and in some cases refusing payment for genicular artery embolization (GAE), AVA helped centers put clear financial policies in place, including patient financial responsibility and payer participation decisions.
At one of our centers, AVA centralized prior authorizations and benefit verification and streamlined intake and referral workflows. The next quarter showed charges up 42% (from $2.45M to $3.49M) alongside a 39% increase in major cases.
