Experian Health ranked #1 in Best in KLAS for 2024

“You know when the Patient Access Curator went live because you can see it in our stock price. It helped us drive a $100 million bottom-line improvement within two quarters.” —Ken Kubisty, Vice President of Revenue Cycle at Exact Sciences Challenge Exact Sciences is a prominent cancer diagnostics laboratory with an annual net revenue of around $2.6 billion, that's best known for its flagship cancer screening test, Cologuard. After a period of rapid growth demand for its test, Exact Sciences faced the difficult task of collecting accurate patient data and verifying insurance eligibility at scale. Anticipating a 25% growth in annual testing volumes, Ken Kubisty, Vice President of Revenue Cycle at Exact Sciences, says the organization “needed an automated, real-time solution" to capture accurate data from the start. The company had four specific objectives: Improve the accuracy of patient insurance data to reduce errors and denials. Streamline processes to handle rising testing volumes without increasing headcount. Reduce claim denials to bring in more revenue (especially those related to eligibility and timely filing). Ensure accurate identity verification in lab settings, where patient, physician and lab data aren't unified within a single data management system.
