Question: Mississippi Subscriber Answer: Under these circumstances, consider collecting from the patient -- probably $5-$10 based on the payer's fee schedule -- and then reimburse the patient if the submitted claim is paid. You may also ask the patient to sign a waiver or an advanced beneficiary notice, (ABN), accepting financial responsibility if the claim for the urinalysis is denied. To bill the insurance, use 81000 (Urinalysis, by dip stick or tablet reagent for bilirubin, glucose, hemoglobin, ketones, leukocytes, nitrite, pH, protein, specific gravity, urobilinogen, any number of these constituents; non-automated, with microscopy) and as a secondary diagnosis add ICD-9 code V72.60 (Laboratory examination, unspecified).
