The "Lab Billing Bottleneck" Problem
Endless manual entry of lab test results, such as CBC counts or PCR cycle thresholds, and patient demographics into EHR-integrated billing systems
HIPAA compliance risks from handling sensitive PHI in fragmented spreadsheets
Delayed reimbursements due to mismatched CPT codes for procedures like PCR testing for infectious diseases or comprehensive blood panels (e.g., lipid profiles)
Staff burnout from reconciling invoices with lab equipment outputs and payer requirements
Error-prone volume surges during flu season, leading to claim denials for high-volume respiratory panels and resulting in 10-15% revenue loss from rejected ICD-10 claims
Error-prone volume surges during flu season, with manual processes overwhelming staff during peaks in influenza A/B testing, leading to 20% claim denial rates and significant revenue leakage

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Gains: Time, Cost, and Compliance Wins
Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Core Lab Work
Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Core Lab Work: Manual invoice tasks for entering microbiology culture results or serology titers drain your team's focus from vital testing. Our AI handles automated extraction from LIS outputs and precise matching to CPT/HCPCS codes, saving 15-20 hours per week per biller—time better spent on analyzing samples or expanding services like genetic sequencing. Labs report a 40% productivity boost, directly translating to 30% more tests processed without added headcount.
Achieve 3-6 Month ROI Through Faster Reimbursements
Achieve 3-6 Month ROI Through Faster Reimbursements: Invoice delays for pathology reports can tie up 20-30% of your cash flow in pending claims from Medicare or private payers. Our system shortens A/R cycles from 45 days to under 15 by automating scrub for NPI mismatches and prior authorizations, reducing denials by 65%. One mid-sized independent lab saw $250K in recovered revenue from streamlined COVID-19 PCR billing within the first quarter, proving our enterprise-grade ROI benchmarks.
Ironclad HIPAA Compliance Without the Overhead
Ironclad HIPAA Compliance Without the Overhead: Navigating protected health information (PHI) like patient lab values in billing is a regulatory minefield under HITECH rules. We embed end-to-end AES-256 encryption, role-based access controls, and automated audit trails into every workflow for LIS-to-billing integrations, ensuring zero compliance breaches. This patient-centric approach not only avoids OCR fines—averaging $50K per violation—but also builds trust, with 95% of users reporting smoother Joint Commission audits and reduced remediation costs.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our team spent Fridays just chasing down mismatched invoices for hemoglobin A1c blood tests—hours lost to Excel errors and endless payer back-and-forth on CPT code 83036. Now, the custom AI flags discrepancies instantly during our daily batch uploads, and we've cut our denial rate from 18% to under 4% in three months. It's like having an extra biller who never errs on diabetes panel reimbursements."
Dr. Elena Vasquez
Director of Revenue Cycle Management, Midwest Pathology Laboratories
"HIPAA audits were a nightmare with our old manual process for logging SARS-CoV-2 PCR results; one PHI exposure incident nearly cost us $100K in fines. AIQ built a system that integrates our laboratory information system (LIS) directly with Cerner EHR, securing all data flows with automated de-identification. In the first six months, we saved 12 hours a week and processed 25% more COVID-19 diagnostic panels without overtime during peak variant surges."
Mark Thompson
Laboratory Operations Manager, BioTest Diagnostics Center
"We handle high-volume next-generation sequencing for oncology panels, and invoice reconciliation against NGS workflow outputs was killing our margins with constant HCPCS code G-codes mismatches. Their AI automation, tailored to our Epic-integrated pipeline, has streamlined everything—reimbursements for genetic tests hit our account 20 days faster, and our staff finally focuses on R&D innovation, not paperwork drudgery."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your invoice automation ensure HIPAA compliance for lab data?
We embed HIPAA safeguards from the ground up, using AES-256 encryption for all PHI transmissions and role-based access controls to limit data exposure. Every invoice process includes automated de-identification where possible, with full audit trails logging access and changes. Drawing from our experience with regulated platforms like RecoverlyAI, we conduct third-party security audits post-deployment to verify compliance. This approach has helped labs avoid violations that cost the industry over $6.5 million in fines last year, ensuring your sensitive test results remain protected without slowing workflows.
Can this system integrate with our existing lab information system (LIS)?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way API integrations with popular LIS platforms like Sunquest or Cerner PathNet, pulling in real-time data on test completions and results. Unlike superficial connections from no-code tools, our custom builds handle complex mappings—such as linking specimen IDs to billing codes—ensuring zero data loss. For a recent genetics lab client, this cut integration time from weeks to days, enabling seamless flow from sample processing to invoice generation. We'll map your specific setup during discovery to guarantee a frictionless fit.
What kind of time savings can a lab testing service expect?
Labs typically reclaim 15-25 hours per week on manual tasks like data entry and code verification, based on our deployments with similar providers. For instance, during peak seasons, automation handles volume spikes automatically, preventing overtime. Industry benchmarks show a 60-75% reduction in invoice processing time, allowing staff to focus on high-value activities like quality control or new assay development. One partner lab reported processing 30% more tests monthly without added personnel, directly boosting their operational efficiency and patient throughput.
How do you handle payer-specific billing requirements, like Medicare for labs?
Our AI is trained on payer rules, including Medicare's strict modifiers for diagnostic tests, automatically validating claims against updated guidelines to slash denials. We customize logic for nuances like CLIA-waived tests or bundled payments, integrating directly with portals for electronic submissions. In a deployment for a regional lab network, this reduced Medicare claim rejections from 22% to 3%, accelerating reimbursements by 18 days on average. We stay ahead of changes via continuous model updates, ensuring your invoices align with evolving regulations without manual intervention.
Is the solution scalable for growing lab operations?
Yes, designed for labs from 50 to 500 daily tests, our architecture uses cloud-native frameworks that scale effortlessly—handling 10x volume increases without reconfiguration. We avoid the limits of no-code platforms, building with robust backends like those in our in-house SaaS tools. A mid-sized lab we partnered with scaled from 2,000 to 8,000 monthly invoices during a public health surge, maintaining 99.9% uptime. Post-launch, we optimize based on your growth metrics, ensuring the system evolves as your testing services expand.
What happens if we need customizations after launch?
Ownership means flexibility: Since we deliver full source code, your team or our support can tweak features anytime. We include a 90-day optimization period for refinements, like adding new test code sets. Unlike subscription models with rigid updates, this empowers ongoing adaptation— one client adjusted for a new genomics panel in under a week, avoiding delays in billing. Our maintenance plans ensure long-term viability, with 24/7 monitoring to keep your lab's revenue flowing uninterrupted.
