Wiki Add on Lab Tests

[meganyoho]

Hello,

If you have an add on Lab test, what date of service should you be billing the add on Lab? The date the blood was drawn and originally sent in or the date the Lab test was ordered?

Thank you!

Hi,
It may depend on whether it's for a Medicare client or not. I've attached the rule CMS uses to determine Date of Service for lab tests.
