Anatomic Pathology

Anatomic pathology is a critical element of the health care system that focuses on identifying the cause of disease by carefully examining bodily fluids, organs, and tissues. Despite its importance in the medical field, pathology is a notoriously difficult specialty to manage in medical billing. Managing both professional and technical services in a systematic manner is essential for proper billing.

Coronis Health understands the complexities involved in pathology billing. With decades of lab management and lab billing experience, Coronis pairs top talent with advanced technology and high-touch service to deliver comprehensive billing and RCM solutions to our pathology clients.

Pathology Billing Challenges

• Multiple different types of Pathology: Molecular Pathology (MoPath), Anatomic Pathology, Clinical Pathology, Liquid Biopsy, etc.
• Physician Fee Schedule: This 2013 rule reduced reimbursement for pathology facilities by cutting the technical component of CPT code 88305.
• Coding Changes: All MoPath codes were changed in 2013, throwing a wrench into traditional reimbursement processes.
• Lack of Out-of-Network (OON) Benefits: The shift away from OON benefits with the rise of HMO plans significantly cut a once-healthy revenue stream for pathology facilities.
