Outsource Your Medical Laboratory Billing Services and Focus on What Matters
Running a laboratory means processing hundreds, sometimes thousands, of test results every single day. At Medi Billing, we provide end-to-end laboratory billing services built specifically for clinical labs, pathology practices, reference labs, and physician office labs. Our certified coders and billing specialists handle every step of your revenue cycle, from patient registration and insurance verification to claim submission, denial appeals, and payment posting. The result is a leaner operation, fewer write-offs, and significantly more revenue collected on your behalf.
Whether you are an independent diagnostic lab struggling with A/R backlogs or a hospital outreach program dealing with high denial rates, our medical billing services give your laboratory the financial stability it needs to grow.
WHAT ARE LABORATORY BILLING SERVICES
Laboratory billing services refer to the complete set of administrative and financial processes that convert lab test results into paid reimbursements. Unlike general medical billing, billing for laboratory services requires highly specialized knowledge because labs operate on extremely high claim volumes, unique CPT code structures, and payer-specific coverage policies that change regularly.
A single incorrect code, a missing ICD-10 link, or an overlooked Local Coverage Determination (LCD) can cause an entire batch of claims to be denied. Without a team dedicated to lab billing, those denials pile up, A/R ages out, and real money walks out the door without ever being collected.
Our laboratory billing solutions are designed to prevent exactly that. We apply precise coding, perform pre-submission claim scrubbing, monitor payer policy updates daily, and follow up aggressively on every outstanding claim so your laboratory gets reimbursed fully and on time.

Our Laboratory Billing Services
Medi Billing offers a complete suite of laboratory billing solutions designed to cover every financial touchpoint in your lab’s operation. As a full-service laboratory billing company, we handle both the technical and professional billing components across all payer types.
Lab Claim Submission
We submit clean, validated electronic claims within 48 hours of receiving complete test and patient documentation. Our pre-submission review process catches errors before they reach the payer, giving your lab a first-pass acceptance rate that consistently exceeds 95%.
Laboratory CPT and ICD-10 Coding
Our certified coders assign precise CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS codes for every test performed. We apply CCI edits, confirm medical necessity, and stay current with PAMA and LCD changes to ensure every claim is coded correctly before it leaves your lab.
Eligibility and Benefits Verification
We run real-time eligibility checks before any claim is built, confirming active coverage, applicable benefits, and patient financial responsibility upfront, eliminating eligibility-related denials before they occur.
Denial Management
Every denied claim is reviewed immediately, corrected at the root cause, and resubmitted or appealed within the payer's timely filing window. We track every denial through to final resolution so no revenue is abandoned.
Lab Revenue Cycle Management
We manage your complete revenue cycle from registration through final payment, reducing A/R aging, improving collection rates, and giving you clear visibility into your lab's financial performance at every stage.
Payment Posting and Reconciliation
All payments are posted, reconciled against expected reimbursements, and reviewed for underpayments. Discrepancies are flagged and followed up before they affect your bottom line.
Accounts Receivable Follow-Up
We pursue every outstanding balance systematically, prioritizing by age and payer to maximize collections before filing deadlines expire. Every claim is followed up until it is paid, adjusted, or formally resolved.
Laboratory Credentialing
We manage full credentialing and re-credentialing with commercial and government payers, tracking renewal deadlines so your enrollment never lapses and your claims are never rejected for credentialing issues.
Medical Billing Audit
We conduct a thorough billing audit of your past claims, coding patterns, and payer payments to uncover missed revenue, compliance risks, and billing errors—then provide a clear report with actionable steps to correct issues and recover underpayments

How Our Lab Revenue Cycle Management Process Works
Our laboratory billing process follows a structured, seven-step workflow that leaves no claim unaccounted for. Every step is tracked, documented, and reported, so you always know where your revenue stands.
We collect complete patient demographics, insurance information, referring provider details, and test order data before any billing begins. Accurate data at this stage prevents errors at every stage that follows.
Our team performs real-time eligibility checks to confirm active coverage, verify benefits applicable to the ordered tests, and identify any patient financial responsibility before the claim is built.
For tests that require pre-authorization, we submit requests to the payer, track approval status, and document the authorization number on the claim. This step is handled proactively, so testing is never delayed, and claims are never denied for missing authorization.
Certified coders assign the precise CPT codes, ICD-10 diagnosis codes, and HCPCS codes for every test performed. CCI edits are applied to prevent unbundling errors, and medical necessity is confirmed against the patient's diagnosis before submission.
Claims are scrubbed through our review system, validated against payer-specific requirements, and submitted electronically within 48 hours. We are connected to over 1,800 commercial and government payers across the United States.
Any returned claim is reviewed immediately. Our team identifies the root cause, corrects the issue, and resubmits or files a formal appeal within the payer's allowed timeframe. We track every appeal through to the final resolution.
Payments are posted, reconciled, and reviewed for underpayments. You receive clear, accessible financial reports covering collection rates, denial trends, A/R aging, and payer performance.
