Reviewing Diagnostic Lab Results
Diagnostic Centers Billing Services
Technical component and professional component splitting is among the most nuanced areas of diagnostic billing. We correctly apply TC/PC modifiers for both the facility and the reading physician — maximizing total reimbursements from a single study.
PAMA pricing, ABN requirements, and Medicare LCD compliance create a minefield for clinical lab billing. Our specialists stay current with all quarterly CLFS updates and ensure every test billed has appropriate medical necessity documentation on file.
High-cost imaging — MRI, CT, PET — often requires payer-specific prior authorization and clinical justification. We manage the full prior auth workflow so diagnostic services are authorized before scanning, eliminating post-service denials.
Every diagnostic claim is reviewed against applicable Local Coverage Determinations and National Coverage Determinations. We ensure diagnoses support the test ordered — reducing medical necessity denials by over 80%.
Correct application of modifiers 26, TC, 59, 51, and others prevents both underpayment and compliance risk. Our coders also analyze bundling edits under NCCI to ensure separately billable services are captured correctly.
Diagnostic denials often stem from missing orders, incorrect diagnosis codes, or LCD non-coverage. We pursue every denial with root-cause analysis, corrected claims, and appeals — recovering an average of 92% of denied diagnostic charges.
