Reduced Operating Costs

The total costs associated with running a laboratory billing operation is between 8% to upward of 12%. Though the majority of these costs are labor, IT systems and infrastructure related costs could be substantial.

Staffing:

XIFIN reduces labor costs by up to a third. This is accomplished through the system's workflow automation. The automation not only streamlines processes, more significantly, it reduces manual errors that cause inefficiencies and often require additional manual intervention and rework. The system enables and helps manage best practices workflows that further enhances staff productivity.

IT:

Costs associated with IT and infrastructure supporting the billing process can cost a typical lab over $100,000 per year. XIFIN's use of the ASP delivery approach essentially out sources the ownership, management and maintenance of these critical resources, reducing these lab costs by as much as 90%.

External Services:

For most labs XIFIN will also reduce or eliminate many transaction service provider costs. Through its maximization of direct payer connections and favorable clearinghouse fees, XIFIN will reduce on-going clearinghouse costs. Additionally, XIFIN makes available other services such as eligibility checking, skip tracing, scanning/OCR conversions... at discounted rates.

Improved Compliance with Guidelines and Standards

Non-compliant billing practices has cost laboratory service providers over $1 Billion in fines. Establishing and maintaining reliable policies and procedures to ensure compliance is a struggle, at best, for most laboratories. XIFIN has embedded compliance into all workflows. The Council of Ethical Organizations (PDF File) (a non-profit compliance "watchdog" group) recommended XIFIN as the only laboratory billing solution that provides a practical means for managing compliance requirements.

XIFIN provides the expertise and is responsible for maintaining HIPAA, as well as many other billing related standards within its offering.

Accurate, Precise and Accessible Financials

Billing transaction details can provide critical information to laboratory managers. Beyond its primary use of generating claims, aggregated transaction data offers important insights into many aspects of the laboratory's business. The system captures and stores an unprecedented amount of transaction details that is accessible through hundreds of analysis reports. For example, these reports help labs evaluate and troubleshoot billing operation performance, evaluate contract performance, analysis-ordering trends, analyze payor and client performance... Of course such analysis depends on accurate and precise data. Through its sophisticated applications and services, XIFIN is able to consistently produce exact, GAAP compliant financial data. Indeed, the application includes a complete financial accounting package that prepares revenue details for the General Ledger.
