Session Information
Getting paid starts long before a claim reaches the billing department. From incomplete requisitions to missing diagnosis codes, small gaps in daily lab workflows can lead to big revenue losses—through denials, recoupments, and audits.
In this fireside chat, XiFin’s Chief Commercial Officer Harley Ross moderates a conversation with revenue cycle experts Heather Agostinelli and Clarisa Blattner. They’ll share real-world strategies to help your lab improve reimbursement and reduce billing risk.
The session will cover how clinical and molecular/genetic labs can avoid common workflow pitfalls, respond to shifting payor policies, and improve documentation accuracy. Attendees will also hear how labs are navigating challenges with Blues plans, staying ahead of the changing prior authorization landscape, and supporting patient experience through better financial estimation. Finally, the panel will highlight how AI is helping lab teams streamline appeals, flag documentation gaps, and reduce manual effort.
What you’ll learn:
- How to identify workflow issues that trigger denials and audits
- Practical tips to improve requisition accuracy, coding, and documentation
- The impact of AI, prior authorization, and consumer expectations on lab revenue
- Strategies to reduce billing risk and safeguard reimbursement
You’ll walk away with actionable insights that empower your lab team to strengthen workflows, improve reimbursement, and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving payor environment.
