Laboratory Billing Services

Accurate and Compliant Laboratory Billing Services


Laboratory​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ billing operates like a separate universe, which is full of complicated CPT codes for panels (80053, 80061), molecular diagnostics (81211, 81275), and pathology services (88305, 88307). Insurance companies frequently change their coverage policies for genetic and specialized tests, thereby, increasing the chances of denials if the codes are outdated or wrongly matched.

We enable your laboratory to cut down on the rejections of claims, speed up the payments, and maintain compliance; thus, your staff will be able to concentrate on providing accurate and timely diagnostic ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌results.
