Daisybill, a current Pivotal Labs client, is making it their mission to transform the workers’ comp market so that injured workers’ receive the best medical treatment.

With the 1,000’s of state- specific regulations that constantly change, workers’ compensation medical billing is not an easy task. In fact, it’s so difficult to get paid that 75% of Texas physicians won’t treat injured workers citing billing complexities and 40% of workers’ comp bills submitted in California are never paid.

DaisyBill simplifies the workers’ comp billing process so that anyone can be a workers’ comp billing expert. DaisyBill’s e-billing solution for workers’ comp increases revenue and decreases A/R by making the process extraordinarily easy and efficient.
