A comprehensive laboratory billing audit includes coding accuracy assessment across all test types, compliance review against Medicare and commercial payer requirements, denial pattern analysis identifying systematic issues, operational efficiency evaluation, financial impact quantification, and detailed corrective action plans. TransLabs audits examine actual claims data, compare performance to industry benchmarks, and provide actionable recommendations for immediate improvement.
Audit duration depends on laboratory size and audit scope. Focused audits examining specific areas typically require 2-3 weeks from data collection through final reporting. Comprehensive audits covering all billing operations generally take 4-6 weeks. Pre-submission prospective audits can be conducted within days. TransLabs works efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring thorough analysis.
No. TransLabs audits are designed to minimize operational impact. We work primarily with data exports and reports rather than interrupting daily workflows. Staff interviews are scheduled at convenient times and typically require only 1-2 hours total. Most audit work occurs off-site using secure data transmission. Your laboratory continues normal operations throughout the audit process.
Our audit process is confidential and designed to identify issues before government or payer auditors find them. When violations are identified, we assess severity, provide specific corrective actions, help implement corrections, and document remediation efforts. Finding and fixing compliance issues internally is far less costly than facing external audits unprepared. Our goal is protection, not punishment.
Audit pricing varies based on laboratory size, claim volume, and audit scope. Focused audits examining specific areas typically range from $8,000-$15,000. Comprehensive full-scope audits generally cost $15,000-$45,000. Given that average audits identify $250,000+ in recoverable revenue and ongoing improvements, the ROI typically exceeds 1,000%. TransLabs provides detailed proposals with transparent pricing before any engagement.
Yes. TransLabs offers focused audits targeting specific concerns including particular test categories (molecular, pathology, toxicology), individual payers showing unusual patterns, new service lines requiring validation, high-dollar claims, or specific compliance areas. Focused audits are cost-effective when you have targeted concerns rather than needing full-scope assessment.
Following audit completion, TransLabs delivers comprehensive findings reports and conducts presentation to leadership explaining results. We provide detailed corrective action plans with prioritized implementation steps. Many clients engage TransLabs for implementation support including staff training, process redesign assistance, and follow-up audits measuring improvement. We remain available for consultation as you implement recommendations.
