Patient was seen on one day, doctor performed a digital rectal exam and an occult stool test was done on that day with the specimen collected from the DRE. The patient was then sent home with two more cards which he brought in the next day. So I have one specimen tested on 1 date, 2 specimens tested on the next date. How do I bill for the service? It was for a colorectal screening.
Do I not bill for the single specimen tested on the date of the appointment and just bill the 82270 on the following day when the patient brought in the two other cards?
