Transcure Expands AI-Powered Support to Help Gastroenterology Practices Recover Lost Revenue

STAMFORD, Conn., May 30th, 2026, FinanceWire

Specialized GI billing support targets the screening-versus-diagnostic coding and modifier mistakes that cost gastroenterology practices an estimated 10–15% in annual reimbursements.

Transcure, a HIPAA-compliant medical billing and revenue cycle management (RCM) company, today announced an expansion of its AI-powered gastroenterology billing services aimed at helping GI practices reduce claim denials and recover revenue lost to complex coding errors. The move reflects growing demand among gastroenterology providers for specialty-specific billing support as endoscopy, colonoscopy, and diagnostic coding rules become harder to manage in-house.

Gastroenterology is among the more error-prone specialties for medical billing. Industry estimates indicate that coding errors in GI billing contribute to a 10% to 15% loss in reimbursements each year, driven largely by issues such as misclassifying a screening colonoscopy as diagnostic, or applying the wrong procedural modifier. These mistakes are easy to make and costly to correct, and they often go unnoticed until revenue has already been lost.

Why Gastroenterology Billing Is So Complex

Unlike general medical billing, GI billing requires precise handling of procedure-specific codes, frequent regulatory updates, and careful documentation. A single colonoscopy claim can shift between screening and diagnostic status depending on findings, changing how it must be coded and reimbursed. Practices that lack dedicated specialty coders frequently absorb these losses as a routine cost of doing business.

Transcure’s approach pairs trained GI coding specialists with AI automation across the revenue cycle — from eligibility verification and charge capture to claim scrubbing, payment posting, and denial follow-up — to catch errors before claims are submitted.

How the Expanded Service Helps GI Practices

• Accurate, up-to-date coding. Certified coders maintain proficiency in current GI CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS codes, including endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures.
• Denial management and appeals. Dedicated managers handle claim denials and submit personalized appeals to recover otherwise lost revenue.
• Compliance and documentation. Comprehensive documentation review supports clean claims and reduces audit exposure under HIPAA and ISO 27001 standards.
• Proactive A/R follow-up. The company reports accounts receivable recovery in as little as 24 days, supporting healthier practice cash flow.

According to the company, practices working with its gastroenterology billing services can see revenue improvements of up to 20% through more accurate coding, timely claim submission, and reduced denials. Transcure currently employs more than 1,100 trained billers and coders and supports 40-plus billing software and EHR systems.

Supporting a Broader Push Toward Specialty-Specific RCM

The gastroenterology expansion is part of Transcure’s wider strategy of delivering specialty-driven billing rather than one-size-fits-all RCM. The company offers complimentary billing audits to help GI practices identify coding and documentation gaps before they translate into denied claims or lost revenue.

“Gastroenterology practices shouldn’t lose income simply because the coding rules are complicated,” a Transcure spokesperson said. “Our goal is to combine specialty expertise with automation so providers can focus on patient care while we protect the revenue they’ve already earned.”
