Ensure proper use of CPT and HCPCS codes for molecular and genetic tests, staying updated on AMA and CMS changes.
Work with payers to manage and negotiate molecular test reimbursement, including appeals and supporting documentation requirements.
Monitor KPIs such as clean claim rate, denial rate, days in A/R, net collection rate, and reimbursement per test.
Ensure full compliance with CLIA, HIPAA, OIG, CMS, and commercial payer policies.
Partner with IT and LIMS teams to ensure data accuracy and seamless claim workflows.
Provide strategic input on pricing, payer policy trends, and coverage analysis for new and existing test offerings.
