Where Specialty Lab Revenue Leaks

PAMA rates change annually
PAMA rates change annually

Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule updates under PAMA affect covered test reimbursement every year. Outdated billing rates create avoidable revenue loss across high-volume procedures.

Genetic tests need stronger prior authorization
Genetic tests need stronger prior authorization

BRCA panels, hereditary cancer testing, pharmacogenomics, and molecular diagnostics require test-specific clinical justification before submission.

PLA codes require exact attribution
PLA codes require exact attribution

Proprietary Laboratory Analyses codes must match the manufacturer, test name, NPI, and payer requirements. Incorrect attribution triggers denials.

Why Specialty Labs Choose Plutus Health

Built for lab billing complexity

Our team understands clinical chemistry, pathology, toxicology, molecular diagnostics, genetic testing, and payer-specific lab billing rules.

Front-end checks before testing

Eligibility, benefits verification, prior authorization, medical necessity, and patient demographics are validated before claims are created.

AR recovery for lab volume

Specialty lab AR requires fast denial action, payment variance tracking, payer follow-up, and underpayment recovery at scale.

What Improves Lab Collections
