Toxicology Laboratory Billing
Toxicology labs have evolved over the years playing a crucial role in shifting advancements and regulations in drug screenings – with the billing complexities of these tests evolving as well.
Laboratories in this specialty face the challenge of frequent CMS coding changes that have resulted in lower reimbursements, leaving many toxicology labs playing a game of trial and error with their in-house billing, or outsourcing their billing to subpar companies that don’t meet their individualized needs.
More Than A Toxicology Laboratory Billing Company
A Trusted Revenue Cycle Management Partner
Understanding Successful Toxicology Laboratory Billing
Toxicology labs uniquely have to navigate many government and regulatory bodies as the role of drug screening has expanded into disease and genetic services. Diagnostic codes, modifiers, commercial and federal payer policies, and state guidelines are constantly changing for toxicology labs. This results in room for more error in the billing process, meaning more denials and less reimbursement.
Drug testing that is both quantitative and qualitative to verify compliance with prescribed therapy or identify inappropriate drug use requires accurate and efficient billing processes that support higher volumes and less claim issues.
Outsourcing your toxicology lab billing to a laboratory-focused revenue cycle management partner can not only alleviate these issues, but can allow us to also present your lab with actionable data that reveals growth opportunities.
