High-volume claims discipline that protects margin

Labs win on throughput and precision. A small edit drift or payer-rule change can erase margin at scale. We install edit governance, denial taxonomy, and operational cadence so volume converts to cash predictably.

Convert volume to cash with rule-driven workflow control

We install controls and a weekly cadence so performance is repeatable across teams, payers, and locations — without heroics.

Discreet resolution capability: We keep payer recovery professional: documented, controlled, and aligned to contractual rights.

Where cash breaks

Typical failure modes we map in the first 10–14 days.

Signals

  • Eligibility/coverage edits spiking for specific payers
  • Medical necessity/ABN issues by test type
  • Ordering source variability causing denials
  • Underpayments hidden in high-volume remits
  • Resubmission loops with no root-cause closure

Root causes

  • Missing controls (no owner, no cadence)
  • Work queues misaligned to payer rules
  • Documentation + coding handoffs inconsistent
  • Appeals built ad-hoc instead of industrialized

The operating model we install

A control system: dashboards → queues → escalation → weekly exec cadence.

Interventions

  • Front-end eligibility + necessity controls at order capture
  • Denial root-cause by test, payer, site, ordering source
  • Contract variance modeling + automated recovery queue
  • Clean claim playbooks for top 20 tests/payers

What you get

  • Playbooks, templates, and manager scorecards
  • Queue design + SLA definitions per workstream
  • Payer performance reporting and variance tracking
  • Weekly leadership readout (10-slide style)

KPIs leadership can run

We choose a tight set of measures that drive behavior and closure.
