It is no wonder that pathology labs face challenges unlike ever before, intending to cut national health care costs. In such a time, when pathology medical billing was already complex and challenging, it requires the practitioners to be more mindful of what and how they are coding for the service rendered.
Unlike any other practice, pathology labs have unique needs, requirements, and obligations to the patient, hospital partners, and other stakeholders. Hence, it is not an unheard situation where claims often get rejected and leave your practice and staff underpaid.
To stay afloat in the business, obtaining accurate and timely reimbursement is a must of any pathology lab.
A Lengthy Documentation Process!!
Staying in compliance with the ever-changing billing regulation is already a challenging situation. Adding to that the understanding of two types of pathology billing, i.e.,
- • Spilt billable
- • Non-Split billable
It makes the pathology billing service system more complex.
Along with these, you must add appropriate modifiers while mentioning the technical and professional components to get the claim.
Now you also need to have the pertinent documentation when you lodge the claim. It needs to include:
- • What type of service was performed?
- • If there were any separate services, then what service was it
- • What was the specimen
- • How many times the service was performed
- • The documentation of the stain used and the results of it
- • Detailed documentation of the specific stains along with the block stains that were performed on
- • Detailed method and skills used to get the results
- • Decalcification of the document where a bone specimen is used
- • Different codes and documents for any intra-operative consultations
If you fail to identify or mention the right codes, services, and descriptions when filing the claim, the chances are you will lose the money. The pathology medical billing services, as a result, is quite tricky. Hence it needs to have a mastered partner who can handle these intricate details with ease.
