Why It Matters to Your Practice

“We prioritize financial integrity and risk mitigation. Checks can take several business days to clear, depending on the payer’s bank and the amount. By waiting, we protect your practice from bounced checks, reversed payments, and the headaches that come with them.” - Travis Forgey, Co-Founder, TNT Billing Solutions

When payments are posted prematurely, the risks multiply:

  • Reversed Payments - If a check bounces after it’s been recorded, your books get messy, and fixing it can disrupt your financial reporting.
  • Inaccurate Financial Statements - Inflated revenue figures lead to misleading statements and poor forecasting.
  • Patient Confusion - Patients might see credits that don’t exist, leading to unnecessary calls and trust issues.

This is especially critical for small and mid-sized practices that rely on precise numbers to make big decisions.


Financial Integrity, Always

When it comes to your practice’s revenue, accuracy is everything. Yet one of the most overlooked pitfalls in healthcare billing is posting payments before they’ve actually cleared the bank.

At TNT Healthcare Billing Solutions, we do things differently – and that’s intentional! While many billing companies post payments the moment they’re received, we wait until every check has fully cleared. The reason is quite simple: your cash flow decisions should be based on reality, not wishful thinking.
