Ok, I have a very rare occurrence here, I do not normally bill for labs.
I got one for a CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel) CPT 80053.
This is for a new provider I have not yet billed for.
My question is this: My billing software default to
Type Of Service (TOS) 1 - Medical Care
should this be billed this way...or
Type Of Service (TOS) 5 - Diagnostic Laboratory
This is being done in the doctor's office, he has his own lab.
Which is why I am uncertain if the TOS would be 5...or 1.
