Eccolab Group will accept assignment on any third-party payer, including Medicare Part B, Medicaid and commercial insurance. Eccolab Group does not currently accept assignment for Medicare Part A, Health Management Organizations (HMO), Managed Care or any other exclusive contacted payer.

If a claim for payment is rejected by a third-party payer, Eccolab Group will attempt to reverse the rejection and resubmit the claim for payment. It is Eccolab Group’s policy to make a reasonable attempt to retrieve any missing or inaccurate information from the facility in a timely manner to avoid any nonpayment.

STAT Service is an expeditious time-sensitive service that must be collected, analyzed and reported as soon as four (4) hours from the time of collection. Extended Service is defined as procedures that must be collected within a very specific requirements and stability of the specimen for the procedure ordered; these tests include Ammonia (NH3), Therapeutic Peak or Trough measurements, in addition to other time-sensitive procedures.

Facility staff assistance is not often necessary to collect or handle specimens. From time to time, our phlebotomy service techs may need some assistance with identifying a patient or with the clarification of an order to be performed. Eccolab Group representatives will work independently with the orders submitted for services but will need facility intervention anytime they’re drawing from a PICC line or any type of port is required.

Eccolab Group makes a good-faith effort at collecting admission face sheets at the initiation commencement of service; in addition, Eccolab Group has an email address dedicated for face-sheet collection (facesheet@eccolabgroup.com). Furthermore, the end-of-month census is to be sent each month to our billing department via e-mail at census@eccolabgroup.com.
