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%.
