Pathology Billing Isn't Standard RCM—Here’s What Makes It a Minefield
Medical billing for pathology labs is unlike any other discipline, requiring billers and coders to thoroughly understand the nuances of Technical Component (TC) and Professional Component (PC) billing. Applying generic billing methods can result in claim denials for more than 50% of your claim submissions.
Mastering the TC/PC Split & Global Billing
Separating the Technical Component (TC) from Professional Component (PC) is the biggest landmine for pathology coding and billing RI. Practices face numerous issues when they fail to distinguish between these two essential parts of laboratory billing.
Modifier -26 Complication
The misuse or misinterpretation of the modifier -26 can result in downcoding from payers, even though you have interpreted the results, payers will refuse to pay if the modifier is misused or not used at all.
Navigating the No Surprises Act
Complying with “No Surprise Act” is compulsory for all providers. Many lab pathologists are working as out-of-network specialists in a facility that only offers care services to in-network panels. This is where you lose your revenue by being underpaid using Qualifying Payment Amounts (QPAs).
Global Billing
When the pathologist owns the lab equipment and interprets the results, the claim can be submitted to payers without appending modifier-26. Using TC or PC results in claim denials.
