Payment Integrity Solution
Improve payment accuracy for genetic testing and complex genomics testing with automated speed and industry-leading expertise
Payment Integrity Designed With Health Plans in Mind
The explosion of genetic tests is creating cost containment challenges for health plans across the board. Fraud, waste, and abuse issues in coding and billing practices are rampant and complicated. Without specialty expertise, health plans can’t identify these issues or decipher what they are paying for.
InformedDNA’s comprehensive Prepay and Post-Pay Payment Integrity Solution is custom-designed to be implemented where each health plan needs it most. Whether it’s a prepay environment to avoid inappropriate payment, or post-pay to identify overpaid claims for savings to recover, we meet you where you are to ensure that healthcare dollars are spent in the most clinically appropriate ways.

Custom implementation to fit each client’s needs
Our Payment Integrity Solution implements claims rules in the format you prefer with minimal interruption or changes to internal operations or workflows. Whether direct to health plan or adjudication partner, our experience shows and makes optimal use of budget, time, and resources required. There is no one-size-fits all approach, and whatever your plan’s philosophy, we make it work to fit your needs.
Ongoing quality controls for optimal savings
Ensure you’re up to date and stay that way through our active maintenance of your solution. We continuously vet medical evidence and monitor regulations — employing smart technology and smart genetic analysts — to deliver the most current claims edits to your prepay claims editing process for optimal performance.
Prevent inappropriate payment of claims with up-to-date claim edits
Accurately identify genetic tests and edit claims based on the most current clinical and coding best practices. Our Payment Integrity Solution roots out variable coding and patterns of abuse in your claims environment, applying edits with automated efficiency, consistent with your medical policy to prevent incorrect payments before they happen.
Minimize appeals and overdenials with extensive support
Receive all supporting documentation for all claim edits, including the edit rationale, frequently asked questions, and the necessary information that could be submitted and change the determination. Lock in a defensible case for each claim and appeals defense, as well as subject matter expert testimony in appeals trials.
In one year, for one health plan client, our solution impacted 17,000 claims, yielding
$27M in savings
with a low appeal rate of 2.5% and virtually no overturned appeals (<.01%) .
