Labview Annual Notices

FOR CLIENTS OF PARKVIEW HEALTH LABORATORIES September 2014

ANNUAL NOTICE TO PHYSICIANS

The Office of the Inspector General requires that laboratories annually inform physicians of the following information:

With all chemistry panels, the physician is to only order those tests, which are medically necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of the patient. Panels will be billed as one test when all components are medically necessary. If all the tests in the panel are not medically necessary, the individual tests should be ordered. When ordered tests are not deemed medically necessary, patients may be asked to sign an Advanced Beneficiary Notice.

Advanced Beneficiary Notice:

A valid diagnosis is required for each laboratory test ordered. Medicare may not consider certain tests, diagnoses or ordering frequencies to be medically necessary and will not reimburse for such testing. These tests will require the patient to sign an Advanced Beneficiary Notice before the specimen can be collected, allowing the laboratory to bill the patient for testing.

CMS and WPS have medical necessity requirements for the following tests.

National Coverage Determination (NCD’s):

AFP, CA-125, CA 15-2, CA 19-9, CEA, Collagen Cross Links, Digoxin, Lipid Testing, GGT, Glucose, Glycohemoglobin, HCG, Hepatitis tests, HIV Diagnostic and Prognostic, Iron Studies (including Iron, Iron Binding Capacity, Transferrin and Ferritin), Occult Blood , Protime, PSA, APTT, Thyroid Function Testing (including Free and Total Thyroxin, TSH, T3 or T4 Uptake or THBR) and Urine Cultures.

Local Coverage Determination (LCD’s):

Cytogenetic Testing, Flow Cytometry Testing, Molecular Testing, Qualitative Drug Testing, Allergy IgE Testing and Vitamin D.
