Billing & RCM

Turn laboratory billing into a connected workflow

Most laboratory billing problems are intake problems that surfaced 45 days late. When billing reads the same validated order the laboratory ran, the claim is assembled from data that was already checked — and the problems appear while they can still be fixed.

Illustrative interface. Figures are examples, not customer data.

The revenue path

Order → eligibility → coding → claim → payer → ERA → payment → reconciliation

Each step reads the record the previous one wrote. Nothing is re-keyed, so a denial can be traced back to the intake step that caused it.

  1. 01OrderTests, provider, diagnosis
  2. 02EligibilityCoverage confirmed on the order
  3. 03CodingCPT and ICD from the catalog
  4. 04ClaimAssembled and scrubbed
  5. 05PayerSubmitted and tracked
  6. 06ERARemittance ingested
  7. 07PaymentPosted against the claim
  8. 08ReconciliationAgainst expected reimbursement

Work queues are prioritized by what is actually blocking payment — missing information, failed validation, denial patterns — rather than by date order. Fifty claims held on the same missing field is one upstream problem, not fifty.

Capabilities

What the billing platform covers

Everything before the claim, the claim itself, the money, and the visibility over all of it.

Before the claim

Everything that decides whether the claim will be payable, done while the order is still in front of you.

  • Patient demographics

    Captured and validated at intake, reused rather than re-keyed at billing.

  • Insurance information

    Payer, plan, member and subscriber details captured from the requisition and insurance documents.

  • Eligibility verification

    Coverage checked inside the order workflow, with the response stored on the order.

  • Insurance discovery

    Coverage investigated where the patient supplied none or supplied the wrong payer.

  • CPT and ICD workflow

    Codes derived from the test catalog and the order rather than reconstructed from the report.

  • Medical necessity checks

    Diagnosis support surfaced during the order workflow, not discovered after a denial.

The claim

Preparation, submission and everything that happens between submission and adjudication.

  • Claim preparation

    Claims assembled from the validated order record with payer-specific requirements applied.

  • Claim submission

    Submitted through your clearinghouse relationship with submission recorded on the claim.

  • Claim tracking

    Status followed from submission through adjudication, with stalled claims surfaced.

  • Claim status

    Current state visible on the claim itself rather than assembled from clearinghouse reports.

  • Denial management

    Denials grouped by reason, payer and originating cause so repeating patterns are visible early.

The money

Remittance, posting, patient responsibility and what remains outstanding.

  • ERA processing

    Electronic remittance ingested, matched to claims and posted.

  • EOB processing

    Paper and non-standard remittance handled into the same posting workflow.

  • Patient responsibility

    Estimated early, tracked through adjudication and carried into statements.

  • Payment tracking

    Payments posted and reconciled against expected reimbursement, not just against the billed amount.

  • Accounts receivable

    Open AR by payer, client, age and balance, worked from queues rather than reports.

  • Aging

    Aging buckets that reflect what is actually collectable and what is stuck.

  • Cash-pay workflows

    Self-pay and client-bill arrangements handled alongside insurance without a separate process.

Visibility

Knowing where revenue is, before the month closes.

  • Payer analytics

    Performance by payer: denial rate, days to payment, reimbursement against expectation.

  • Billing productivity

    Throughput by queue and by team member, with the backlog visible.

  • Revenue dashboards

    Billed, collected, outstanding and denied, against the volume the laboratory actually ran.

  • Billing work queues

    Work prioritized by what is blocking payment rather than by date order.

Questions

Billing questions

Does billing require using your LIS?

It works best that way, because the claim is then built from the same validated record the laboratory ran. Billing against an external system is possible where a suitable interface exists for order and result data.

Can your team work our billing for us?

Yes — that is the managed billing service: eligibility, claim preparation and submission, denial follow-up, AR follow-up, ERA processing and payment posting, worked inside your platform and your audit trail.

How do you handle denials that keep repeating?

Denials are grouped by reason and payer, and the workflow is designed to trace a denial back to the intake step that caused it. The point is to fix the cause upstream rather than to appeal the same denial indefinitely.

Do you publish collection rate improvements?

No. Results depend on payer mix, documentation quality, test menu and the state of the existing AR. We will model expectations against your actual data during scoping rather than quote a number that means nothing.
