Laboratory Medical Billing Service
Are you tired of fighting denied claims, incorrect coding problems, or having difficulty following up on payments? As a laboratory, you have a unique reimbursement process, and it can be cumbersome to keep up with all claims.
A professional billing service might be the answer to streamlining your operations. They can take on the expensive and challenging billing procedures and free up your internal resources to focus on running your lab.
Laboratories Have Unique Billing and Payment Needs
Clinical and reference labs face multiple challenges when managing their billing and payment cycles. For laboratories, the billing process is a complex interaction between a clinical laboratory or pathology group and the payer. It is a multi-step process that starts with laboratory coding.
After providing a service or procedure, the lab must assign diagnosis and procedure codes to indicate which lab service they performed. After service delivery, labs must manage their revenue cycle – the collections stage, where they bill the payer or insurer.
Finally, the payer sends payment to the clinical laboratory, and the reimbursement stage of the cycle is complete.
Why Does My Laboratory Need a Medical Billing Service?
Clinical and reference labs can experience delays and difficulties in the revenue management cycle. Incorrect or denied claims can lead to a time-consuming and costly circular process of submissions and resubmissions.
Also, in addition to insurance reimbursement denials, coding errors, and incorrect patient statements, many labs find it challenging to keep up with the ever-changing insurance billing guidelines and reduced reimbursements.
Health insurance is rapidly changing, and billing has become progressively more complex. Insurance companies have increasingly shifted the burden of costs onto patients through high deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance.
At the same time, they have also become more aggressive in their billing practices, often denying claims or charging patients for services that they should cover. Internally managing this billing and payment cycle can bring even highly efficient laboratories to their knees.
