LIS & EHR Integration for Laboratory Billing
Billing accuracy starts with clean data flow. We integrate directly with your Laboratory Information System, EHR, and practice management platform so charges post automatically, claims build from source data, and claim status is visible where your team already works.
Why Integration Determines Billing Accuracy
Every manual re entry between the laboratory system and the billing system creates an opportunity for a denial. Integration removes that gap by moving orders, results, and charges directly from the source record.
Automated Charge Capture
Charges post from completed test results, so billable tests are not missed.
Fewer Data Entry Errors
Demographics and insurance flow from the source record rather than being retyped.
Faster Submission
Claims build as results finalize, shortening the gap between test and submission.
Visible Claim Status
Claim and payment status is visible in the systems your team already uses.
Systems We Integrate With
Four surfaces cover the laboratory revenue cycle: the LIS, the EHR, the practice management system, and the clearinghouse.
Laboratory Information Systems
Bidirectional integration for order, result, and charge data, including analyzer interfaces for in house testing.
Electronic Health Records
Patient demographics, insurance, and ordering provider data sync so claims build from the clinical record.
Practice Management Systems
Scheduling, patient accounts, and payment posting reconcile through one workflow.
Clearinghouses
Direct HIPAA compliant connections handle submission, acknowledgment, and remittance.
Our Integration Process
- 01
System Assessment
Current LIS, EHR, and practice management platforms and their interface capabilities are reviewed.
- 02
Interface Design
Data mapping is defined for orders, results, demographics, insurance, and charges.
- 03
Build and Configure
The interface is built and test to code mapping is configured to your test menu.
- 04
Parallel Testing
Live data runs in parallel against existing billing to validate accuracy before cutover.
- 05
Go Live
Cutover proceeds with monitoring and no interruption to claim submission.
- 06
Ongoing Monitoring
Interface health is monitored and mappings updated as your test menu changes.
Interface Standards We Support
What Integration Delivers
No Manual Re Entry
Order and patient data move once, from the source system to the claim.
Complete Charge Capture
Every completed billable test posts a charge, closing revenue leakage from missed tests.
Real Time Reporting
Dashboards report claim volume, denial rate, AR aging, and collections from live data.
Uninterrupted Onboarding
Parallel testing before cutover keeps billing running during the transition.
Results After Integration
Higher Clean Claim Rate
Source data removes the transcription errors that drive first pass rejections.
Shorter Time to Submission
Claims build as results finalize rather than in a manual batch.
Recovered Missed Charges
Automated capture bills tests that manual processes overlook.
Lower Staff Burden
Billing staff stop re keying data and move to exception handling.
HIPAA-Compliant Data Integration
All interface traffic runs under a signed Business Associate Agreement with encryption in transit and at rest.
Enterprise Security Infrastructure
AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS encryption in transit, multi factor authentication, and role based access controls.
HIPAA Business Associate Agreement
A signed BAA covering the Privacy Rule, the Security Rule, and the Breach Notification Rule, with annual compliance review.
What Laboratory Providers Say
“Charge capture from our analyzers found billable tests we had been losing every week. The interface paid for itself immediately.”
Physician Office Laboratory
“Parallel testing before cutover meant billing never stopped. That was the part we were most worried about.”
Regional Clinical Laboratory
“Our clean claim rate rose once demographics stopped being retyped between systems.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Laboratory Information Systems Do You Integrate With?
We integrate with major LIS platforms through HL7, FHIR, ASTM analyzer interfaces, flat file transfer, and direct API connections. Where a platform is new to us, the interface is built to the standard that system supports.
How Long Does Integration Take?
Most integrations are configured, tested in parallel, and live within two to four weeks. The timeline depends on your platform, the number of interfaces, and the size of your test menu.
Will Billing Stop During Integration?
No. New interfaces run in parallel against your existing billing process and validate against live data before cutover, so claim submission continues uninterrupted.
Do You Support HL7 and FHIR?
Yes. HL7 interfaces carry order and result messaging, and FHIR APIs are supported where your platform exposes them. EDI transactions 837, 835, 270, and 271 handle claims, remittance, and eligibility.
Can You Capture Charges From Our Analyzers?
Yes. ASTM and vendor analyzer interfaces post charges directly from completed in house testing, which prevents billable tests from being missed.
Is the Integration HIPAA Compliant?
Yes. All interface traffic runs under a signed Business Associate Agreement with TLS encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, role based access, multi factor authentication, and audit trails on every exchange.
What Happens When We Add New Tests?
Test to code mappings are updated as your menu changes, so new tests bill correctly from the first specimen rather than falling to manual entry.
Is There a Cost for Integration?
No. Interface build, configuration, testing, and go live are included in onboarding with no setup fee.
