Pathology Billing, Done Right

Common Pathology services we bill

Anatomic and clinical pathology, specimen handling, and professional-component interpretation.

Where Pathology revenue commonly leaks

Most lost revenue in Pathology traces back to accurate specimen and unit coding with the professional component (modifier 26), missed eligibility checks, incomplete documentation, and unworked denials. Each is preventable with the right front-end checks and disciplined follow-up.

How Consult By Me protects it

We verify eligibility and benefits before the visit, apply accurate, up-to-date Pathology coding, scrub every claim before submission, and work denials and appeals to resolution, while keeping you compliant with changing payer rules.

The numbers we watch

We track the metrics that decide whether a Pathology practice thrives: clean-claim rate, days in accounts receivable (A/R), denial rate, and net collection rate, and report them to you in plain language.
