From visit to payment in a therapy practice
- The patient is seen and the visit is documented.
- A claim goes to the insurer; any copay is collected.
- The insurer reviews, may ask for records, and pays or denies.
- Denied claims are corrected and resubmitted.
- Payment lands weeks after the visit.
Steps three and four set the practice's cash gap. A practice that tracks days from visit to payment by payer can show a partner the gap in its own numbers.
Records a practice brings to a funding request

- An aging report of unpaid claims by payer.
- Vendor quotes for any equipment.
- The lease and any build-out estimate.
- For a purchase, the seller's returns and patient counts.

An optometry practice sells exams and sells eyewear. The exam side is paid by insurers and patients; the eyewear side carries frame and lens stock. A request that keeps the two apart lets equipment financing carry exam lanes and a line of credit carry frame orders.
