In the healthcare revenue cycle, posting payments may appear routine, but it is one of the most critical steps for maintaining accurate financial records, reducing errors, and identifying revenue opportunities. Payment posting is where a practice reconciles what it has billed with what it has received — and where trends in payer behavior and patient responsibility become visible.
Cherry Medical Solutions’ Payment Posting Service ensures every payment, adjustment, and balance is accurately recorded in real time. By bringing precision and transparency to this essential function, we help providers maintain financial control, identify underpayments, and improve patient satisfaction.
Payment posting is more than data entry. Done correctly, it:
When payment posting is delayed or inaccurate, it leads to:
That’s why our team treats payment posting as a strategic function, not a clerical one.
We retrieve payment data from Electronic Remittance Advices (ERAs), Explanation of Benefits (EOBs), and manual checks. Our secure systems automatically import payment details, minimizing manual errors.
Our specialists record all payments — from insurance payers, government programs, and patients — directly into your practice management system. We apply payments at the line-item level, ensuring every CPT or HCPCS code is reconciled against the correct payment.
We apply payer adjustments such as contractual allowances or negotiated discounts accurately and transparently. This prevents accidental write-offs and ensures your accounts reflect true collectible balances.
When a patient has multiple insurance plans, we promptly submit claims to secondary or tertiary payers after primary payment posting. This accelerates full reimbursement and prevents overlooked balances.
Our payment posting team flags denied or partially paid claims for immediate follow-up. This early detection speeds up denial resolution and ensures no revenue slips through the cracks.
After insurance payments and adjustments are posted, we calculate patient responsibility accurately. This allows you to send timely, accurate statements and reduces patient confusion over balances.
We identify overpayments or credit balances quickly and coordinate appropriate refunds or adjustments, maintaining compliance and patient trust.
We post payments promptly so your accounts receivable, cash flow projections, and revenue reports are always up to date.
With immediate posting of insurance payments and adjustments, patient balances can be billed faster — improving collection rates.
Timely posting means quicker follow-up on unpaid balances and faster resolution of denials, both of which boost cash flow.
Our detailed posting process produces clear audit trails for each payment, adjustment, and refund.
We compare actual payments against contracted rates to detect underpayments or incorrect adjustments, giving you leverage to recover lost revenue.
Outsourcing payment posting to Cherry Medical Solutions frees your staff to focus on patient care instead of repetitive financial tasks.

Accurate posting enables effective reconciliation. We routinely compare posted payments to bank deposits, ERAs, and payer reports to ensure:
This reconciliation also feeds into your month-end and year-end reporting for a reliable financial picture.
Payment posting is often the first point where denials are detected. By flagging and categorizing denials at the posting stage, we provide:
This proactive approach keeps your revenue cycle improving continuously.
Once insurance payments are posted, the patient portion becomes clear. We provide your staff or billing partner with accurate balances so they can:
This transparency improves patient satisfaction and speeds up collections.
Credit balances and overpayments are inevitable in healthcare. We identify these situations promptly and coordinate refunds to insurers or patients, maintaining compliance and trust. We also provide detailed documentation for each refund transaction.
