Frequently Ask Question

How do you handle stimulation and suppression test billing?

We establish systematic billing protocols for stimulation and suppression tests requiring multiple timed specimens, document comprehensive testing protocols with timing and medication details, and achieve 93% prior authorization approval and 90% appeal success rates.

Yes. We apply correct methodology-specific codes (testosterone 84402 for LC-MS/MS vs 84403 for immunoassay), document clinical rationale for mass spectrometry selection, and successfully appeal methodology-based denials with clinical justification.

We establish appropriate testing algorithms (TSH with reflex to Free T4), code thyroid function tests and antibodies separately with modifiers preventing bundling, and navigate payer-specific thyroid testing policies for optimal reimbursement.

Yes. We integrate with all major LIS platforms including EPIC Beaker, Sunquest, Cerner, and Meditech, enabling automated charge capture, methodology-based code assignment, and dynamic testing multi-specimen coordination.

We establish systematic billing for HbA1c monitoring, coordinate OGTT multi-specimen billing with proper timepoint documentation, code diabetes antibodies appropriately, and optimize reimbursement for C-peptide and insulin testing.

We establish disease-specific testing pathways, document detailed medical necessity for expensive diagnostic workups, implement prior authorization for high-cost testing, and successfully appeal denials with comprehensive clinical justification and diagnostic guidelines.

What Our Clients Say?

Linda Hutchinson
Linda Hutchinson
Laboratory Director
Our NGS panel denials dropped from 32% to under 6% within three months. TransLabs' expertise with molecular tier codes, prior authorization management, and LCD compliance has been invaluable. They understand the nuances of genetic testing billing that our previous vendor completely missed.
Peter Wozniak
Peter Wozniak
Pathologist & Laboratory Owner
We've worked with three other billing companies over the years. TransLabs is the only one that truly understands complex surgical pathology coding, immunohistochemistry billing, and the nuances of TC/PC modifiers. Clean claims rate improved to 99%, and our dermatopathology reimbursement increased 27%.
James Patton
James Patton
Cytogenetics Laboratory Manager
Before TransLabs, our FISH and karyotype claims were a constant struggle with denials and underpayments. Their coders actually understand probe configurations, complexity levels, and when to use 88271 versus 88275. Our cytogenetics revenue increased 34% in the first year.
