Clinical Lab Medical Billing That Delivers 95% Clean Claims & Faster Payments.

Struggling with denials, aging A/R, or revenue leakage? Our end-to-end independent clinical laboratory billing services help labs get paid faster and more accurately, reducing billing stress and ensuring cleaner claims from start to finish.

Challenges Clinical Labs Face And How We Solve Them

Every lab faces billing hurdles. We dive into them so you get paid faster, with fewer denials and cleaner claims.
Sr. Challenges Problem Solution
01 Denied Claims for “Medical Necessity. Wrong ICD-10 mapping or missing documentation. We automate ICD-10 pairing and validate medical necessity in real time.
02 Missing or Incorrect CLIA Info Denials due to missing CLIA numbers or incorrect modifiers (QW, 90, 59, 91). We perform pre-submission CLIA checks and audit all modifiers.
03 High Denials for Molecular & Genetic Testing PCR, molecular, and genomic codes (87426–87999, 81200–81408) are heavily audited. We align with CLFS, handle PAMA reporting, and perform thorough documentation audits.
04 Slow Payments & Long A/R Slow Payments & Long A/R We integrate HL7/FHIR, automate workflows with RPA, and actively monitor A/R to keep it under 25 days.
05 Charge Entry Delays Unposted charges cause revenue loss. 24–48 hr charge entry with reconciliation.
06 MolDX & Z-Code Registration Reimbursement delays from complex TA submissions and Z-Code registration. We manage submissions and registration to ensure smooth, timely payments.
