Simplify and accelerate your COVID-19 testing with a combination of SCC’s 90 Day Rapid Implementation and RCM’s Billing Solutions

Ideal for start-up labs, smaller or standalone laboratories, our rapid implementation process allows labs to be up and running within 90-days as they prepare for an influx of COVID-19 testing while simultaneously setting up our Accounts Receivable services to ensure all payments and revenues are collected and processed.

Starting with identifying the client’s goals such as minimizing manual data entry/electronic documentation and increasing productivity via automation, the idea for many is to streamline the current processes to accelerate resulting since testing increases exponentially as months go on. Placing the software directly into the hands of the laboratorian allows for quick adaptation of the user-engagement which ultimately speeds up the testing results.

SCC has partnered with RCM Enterprise Services, a revenue cycle management company that understands the complexity of the revenue cycle process, whether it is genetics, pathology, clinical laboratory or COVID-19 billing. Most of the issues stem from improper registration, prior authorization, and coding. What seems to be a simple task can add up to lost revenue. A recognized leader in healthcare revenue cycle management, RCM delivers the accuracy required to expedite submission of claims for faster revenue reimbursements. RCM’s revenue cycle workflow processes have an average of 45 days in AR, way below industry standards.

Clients utilizing cloud based applications can support specimen processing and testing automation from order intake whether it is electronic, drive-thru testing center, web-based order, or even paper-based requisition. These applications accelerate results, reducing the amount of manual labor, therefore increasing turnaround times. Low-cost, cloud based configurable solutions are designed to provide software support for day-to-day operational automation in clinical, environmental, research, bio banking, and other environments.
