Hi, all. I'm having a 'discussion' with one of my doc's wives and she is adamant that they should be billing G0434 with 12 units for the 12 panel urinalysis drug screening they are doing for their chronic pain opioid patients. And if that doesn't work, use G0431 with 12 units.
I shared with her the LCD and CPT descriptions (any number of drug classes, per encounter), but she says there are new Medicare guidelines (2013) that say to bill multiple units for all the drugs they are testing for. Of course, I could be wrong.
Does anyone have a current reference on this issue? Thanks in advance!
