Your LIS keeps the record. This layer reads it.
Requisitions, payer policies and results arrive as paper and prose around the record. Three products read them, and write what they find back into the LIS you already run.
3.2 TSH (CPT 84443) is medically necessary for members with thyroid disease (E00–E07) or an abnormal thyroid finding (R94.6).
In range today, and higher at each of your last four tests.
An LIS keeps things. Reading is a different job.
An LIS stores orders, results and bills exactly as they were entered. It can’t read a faxed form, weigh an order against a payer’s policy, or notice a normal result drifting up. The layer does those three readings and leaves the record where it is.
- Reads
- Requisitions, insurance cards and IDs, however they arrive.
- Hands back
- A drafted order that a person checks and registers.
- Reads
- Your payers’ own policies, and every order you send it.
- Hands back
- Findings before billing, each naming the rule and the fix.
- Reads
- Approved results, and the patient’s earlier ones.
- Hands back
- A report in your lab’s name that a patient can follow.
One order, three readings.
REQ 4471-B, from the fax tray to the patient.
The order is checked before it bills.
84443 is billed with Z00.00 and R53.8. Policy LAB-0231 §3.2 (p. 14) covers it for E00–E07 or R94.6.
FIXAsk Northgate Clinic for the diagnosis behind the TSH.
The result is explained.
Three products. One record.
It reads and it flags. It doesn’t post, bill or file on its own.
AiReq drafts and someone on your team registers. Revenue Guard finds the problem and your team fixes the order.
Each product lists who reads your data, by name, on its own security page.
AiReq and Revenue Guard are covered by CrelioHealth’s SOC 2 program.
Start with the paper that costs you most.
Requisitions eating the morning: start with AiReq. Denials eating the margin: start with Revenue Guard. Both have a free trial and need no card.
