WAYSTAR FOR CLINICAL LABORATORIES
A rev cycle roadmap to reduce denials + increase cash flow
Medical laboratory leaders know that operational and revenue challenges are steep—and will only grow as lab reimbursement and operating margins continue to shrink. With Waystar, labs like yours receive a rev cycle roadmap to improve efficiencies, increase cash flow and realize opportunities for growth.
Your lab deserves the right tools and visibility on patient demographics, eligibility and payment information to optimize your billing performance. And in order to get paid faster and fuller, you need a lab billing expert and implementation partner, not just a vendor.
High volume laboratories can see thousands of denials per day. And the costs to appeal a denial or rework a claim are often far more than the claim is worth. Waystar can help your lab achieve a 99% clean claims rate and reduce denials immediately.
Waystar’s end-to-end lab solutions:
Imagine verifying eligibility, getting procedures authorized and triaging payer exceptions were fast and simple. This would not only take the burden off your team, but also ensure a smoother and less stressful experience for your patients and their families. With Waystar, your team will be empowered to:
- Verify eligibility prior to claim submission
- Find coverage for uninsured or self-pay patients
- Eliminate denials due to lack of or inactive coverage
