The future revenue cycle management of your lab depends on accurate documentation and proper reporting. It is critical to adjust front-office and back-office procedures to ensure maximum reimbursement from all payers. Many insurance companies have narrowed their provider networks, and pathology labs are increasingly deemed, out-of-network providers. Adding to the challenge is the fact that health insurers are placing greater limitations on benefits. It’s becoming more and more difficult to collect payments from insurers and patients alike. You may not be able to do anything about coverage, but you can avoid these types of denied claims and collection accounts by verifying eligibility before providing services.
