XiFin, Inc., the leading provider of revenue cycle management for diagnostic service providers, announced that Pathology, Inc. of Torrance, CA, the region’s leading anatomic pathology laboratory, has selected XiFin’s revenue cycle management system to optimize its billing process, improve cash collections, and to help ensure adherence to regulatory compliance guidelines.

New CFO Steve Pierce was instrumental in introducing XiFin to Pathology, Inc. following his success in using the system at one of the industry’s largest clinical labs, and expects the program to more than pay for itself by the end of the first year. Pierce stated, “XiFin is a proven solution that I know from first-hand experience will enable us to optimize revenue and access critical financial information to guide our business.
