IDR execution for RCM partners

Add specialized IDR capability without building another operating team.

PRP can operate as a referral partner, co-branded specialist, or white-label IDR extension. Define how your client relationship, communications, and handoffs will work together.

Partnership models

Fit PRP to the relationship you already have.

01 · Referral

Introduce a client to a specialist.

Define the introduction, consent to share business contact details, and the updates your team should receive.

02 · Co-branded

Coordinate a shared client experience.

Agree on shared communications, named contacts, and who answers each kind of client question.

03 · White-label

Add IDR execution behind your brand.

Define client-facing ownership, branding, escalation contacts, and the information PRP needs to do the work.

Before the first matter

Set up the working relationship before the file changes hands.

01

Discuss the opportunity

Start with specialty mix, states, approximate volume, current systems, and preferred delivery model. Business-level information is enough for the first conversation.

02

Agree on the scope

Confirm responsibilities, operating minimums, economics, permissions, reporting, and payment follow-up in the applicable agreements.

03

Set up secure intake

After onboarding, use the separate secure application PRP provides. Identify a records contact, a client-communication contact, and an escalation owner.

04

Review the first files together

Confirm pathway, documentation, timing, and commercial fit for each matter. Resolve missing information and agree on the next action before proceeding.

Make the handoff explicit

Agree on who brings the record, makes the decision, and follows up.

Client relationship

RCM partner / client

Identify the client contact and preferred communication model.

PRP

Records and authority

Arrange authorized access to complete source records and identify who can resolve gaps.

PRP

Organize received records and identify missing information through the secure workflow.

Pathway and timing

RCM partner / client

Provide plan, payment, notice, and prior-action records promptly.

PRP

Review the available route and controlling dates before accepting or initiating work.

Dispute execution

RCM partner / client

Provide requested clarifications and decisions through the agreed contacts.

PRP

Keep outcomes, cash received, unpaid balances, and next actions distinct under the agreed reporting scope.

This is a discussion framework, not a fixed allocation of contractual duties. Scope, access, reporting frequency, fees, expenses, and payment-follow-up responsibilities are confirmed in the written agreement. PRP does not guarantee eligibility, a favorable determination, or collection.

Visibility and reporting

Keep the next action and the payment visible.
