Why Lab Claims Get Denied and How We Prevent Them

Labs lose the most revenue to denied claims of any specialty because one small detail can make a low-value claim ineligible for payment. We prevent the most common causes of claim rejections from even being submitted. Tap a card to see how.

Medical-necessity mismatch

If the ICD-10-CM diagnosis doesn't support the test under the payer's LCD/NCD policy.

Our fixWe verify coverage, benefits and medical necessity against each payer’s LCD/NCD policies for your service before the claim is built.

Missing identifiers

Missing or invalid CLIA number, ordering-provider NPI, or specimen details.

Our fixProvider order details are verified up front and every claim is scrubbed before submission, so incomplete claims never go out.

Molecular & genetic denials

Flagged investigational or missing MolDX/Z-code registration and prior authorization.

Our fixOur coders handle molecular Z-codes, and claims marked “investigational” are worked to the root cause and appealed within filing limits.

Unbundling & panel edits

NCCI/CCI conflicts and toxicology presumptive vs. definitive (G-code) errors.

Our fixEach claim is checked against NCCI edits, MUEs and thousands of payer-specific rules by our AI Rule Engine to catch unbundling and modifier errors.

Frequency limits & duplicates

Repeat tests billed outside payer frequency rules.

Our fixPayer-specific rules are applied during claim scrubbing, before submission, so rule conflicts are caught at the source.

Front-end errors

Eligibility, demographics or accession data captured incorrectly.

Our fixOrders, demographics and accession charges are captured directly from your LIS via HL7, and eligibility is verified before billing.
9 stages

Our Laboratory Revenue Cycle Management Process

Every claim from a laboratory goes through nine different interconnected stages before being finally paid out as revenue. At each of these stages, there is a risk of loss in the revenue cycle due to a lack of laboratory-specific billing expertise. The laboratory revenue cycle management offered by MEdBill24 covers all nine stages, from the initial verification of eligibility to the final analytics dashboards; thus, more of your high-volume, low-dollar claims will be paid on the first attempt, and less money will be stuck waiting to be processed in accounts receivable.

Front-End AccuracyStages 1 – 3

Eligibility & Verification

We verify coverage, benefits and medical necessity according to each payer’s LCD/NCD policies specific to your service and verify provider order details to prevent the front-end errors responsible for most lab rejections.
