Good morning! Scenario: A urinalysis is ordered at an office visit but the patient cannot provide a sample. They return the next day with the sample, and the test is run and interpreted. One of our providers wants to charge for this. Is it OK to charge the UA drop off and interpretation, or would this be considered included in the office visit from the day before?
 
Yes, it could be billed as long as it was not charged on the day of the encounter. Any labs done on the day of the encounter or after is not inclusive to the visit.
