FAQ

Specific to your specialty. If it's not here, an RCM specialist will answer it directly.

The pathology denials we work most often are unit exceeds policy, non-covered molecular test, and missing ordering provider. Each one is categorized by root cause, prioritized by recoverable value and timely-filing risk, and fed back into prevention at the front desk and in coding.

A structured review of your pathology denials, A/R aging, coding patterns, and underpayments — findings are yours to keep, whether or not we work together.

  • · Findings you keep, whether or not we work together
  • · No patient information requested
  • · A named RCM specialist, not a sales queue
