Lab Billing

Clinical laboratories need an effective business model and a sound financial strategy to thrive.

Constantly changing regulatory demands, software inadequacies and difficulty in accessing the information weigh down the operations of a laboratory and hamper the growth of business. Add improper financial management to the mix and the negative effect suddenly gets compounded.

Molecular Billing and Coding

Molecular billing is subject to constant changes with the field of genetics seeing rapid advancements and becoming a field of major focus for laboratories across the world. CMS consistently evaluates reports of laboratories and re-scripts CPT codes. The coding front of the entire laboratory billing process is complicated because of recurrent coding changes, and if that's not enough, some codes may even seem to cover up to 10 genes.

It cannot be stressed enough, billing staff for laboratories needs to stay constantly updated with the changes made by the CMS and insurance carriers. It's a vital practice that insures proper payments for the services rendered.

Constant changes in the CPT codes can often prove rather difficult to keep up with, especially with a huge influx of lab orders.

Clinical Laboratory Billing

OIG (Office of the Inspector General) of the U.S Department of Health and Human Services has made no secret of its intention to diligently oversee independent clinical pathology laboratories’ billing practices. With reimbursement decreasing and competition on the rise, there's never been greater need for a proficient clinical lab billing service.

Billers and coders must house extensive knowledge of the variety of services that may be offered by a clinical laboratory; be it biological, hematological, serological, cytological or bioreference laboratory billing.
