Diagnosis and treatment of many of your patients relies heavily upon lab work. Often, many of the labs required must be ordered out due to lack of equipment, lack of space for equipment, or even a lack of funding for an ancillary service requiring expensive instrumentation. Ancillary Medical Solutions offers expert advice and guidance with helping you determine your specific needs for testing, instrumentation, certification, validation, as well as finding employees if needed. We offer a ground up ancillary solution that is customized for your clinic in order to minimize waste and loss of time and maximize results, efficiency, and revenue.
Implementing the correct instrumentation in your clinic is based specifically on tests required for your patients and volume of testing; we take everything into account when determining what equipment meets your needs, thus minimizing loss of revenue. Placing a testing platform within your practice minimizes testing error due to sample contamination, mislabeling, and sample degradation. Utilizing our expert knowledge in laboratory equipment, testing, testing validation, reimbursement, and lab utilization, you have every advantage available to you in determining the most cost-effective laboratory which will increase your clinic’s efficiency therefore improving patient outcome and improving your revenue flow.
Offering an ancillary service such as an in-house lab, in order to choose viable options, must be based upon patient volume, patient demographics, reimbursement schedules, as well as expert knowledge of laboratory equipment, efficient test ordering, and trustworthy results. Many of our clients have implemented labs previously and had to close the testing portion of their clinics. Through our help and guidance, our clients have implemented this ancillary service which has lead to an improvement in overall efficiency in their clinics, improved patient relationships and ratings, as well as an increase in the bottom line of each clinic. Our experience is key to the decision process when determining lab viability and whether it will be a profitable endeavor.
Instrumentation varies greatly in price and financing options are available. Some instruments are more expensive with their up-front costs but more cost effective depending upon testing patterns and clinic size. Other clinic specifics require additional labor force, validation, or accreditation. We can tailor this ancillary service dependent upon you and your requirements and because of this, our clients have re-claimed revenue and improved their bottom line in spite of declining reimbursements and the challenges presented by the increased complexity with new health care laws.
Our knowledge of reimbursement helps to improve profit by taking into account the dynamic health care reimbursement schedules and legal changes. Our guidance will help you to decide whether you should test, whether it is more cost-effective to refer some tests out, whether a more expensive up-front cost will lead to better profit, and even if a lab is a viable option for your clinic. At AMS, we look to partner with you and help protect you over the long-term. We look after our clients and we guide our decisions based upon knowledge and expertise as well as client satisfaction.
