We are going to be doing confirmations inhouse as opposed to sending them out, which leads me to a billing question.
Let's say a provider orders a screen and it comes back positive for buprenorphrine and they want a confirmation.
We would bill the screen under G0431 and the confirmation under G6056.
We are having a discussion as to whether this should be two separate claims with two separate account numbers or whether it can go on one claim.
What do other labs do? There is a part of me that thinks it wold be easier to bill and track the receivables if there were two separate claims. But from a programming standpoint, having both on the same claim is much simpler.
