Vachette Pathology is a pathology practice management firm, we are not a billing agency and do not perform billing. Instead we manage pathology practices from an outside point of view. We push your billing service to optimum performance; we renegotiate managed care contracts and help with the business of pathology.

Pathology Practice Management

We actually manage your practice. For the price of a few specimens per month you can work with someone who specializes in pathology practice management. Someone who understands the issues surrounding the business of pathology.

Experience

We currently manage over 50 pathology groups coast-to-coast. These practices range from single man groups to 28 man groups. Our Practice Managers all have intensive pathology billing experience and know the pitfalls of pathology billing.

Over the past years we have worked with The College of American Pathologists, the American Pathology Foundation and the Pathology Management Assembly.

Results

"Within the first four months, Vachette Pathology helped my group to collect an additional $180,000." – Michael P. Hurly M.D., President, Ferguson Medical Labs, Inc. Joplin, MO

This is a typical testimonial; Vachette Pathology helps pathology practices with solutions to their problems. We are a results based firm.

Imagine

Imagine the impact we can have on your practice. Imagine having a true Pathology Practice Manager that understands the business of pathology and works to ensure your financial viability. Not someone who has ties to a billing agency, but a true independent Pathology Practice Manager.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Our contract has a 30 day termination notice. Simply put if you do not get your money's worth in value, i.e. more actual cash revenue and a better understanding and management of your practice, then you get to terminate the contract, no questions asked.

We want our pathology practices to be profitable. Our clients make more money, have a better understanding of their business environment and are more financially stable because of our efforts. Our references prove this everyday.

"Vachette Pathology helps us increase revenue, audit our billing service and keep abreast of the changes in the business of pathology." Terry Burns M.D. Midland Pathology, Midland, TX
