[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 143945, member: 18023"] BTW, all lab orders have codes on it, the problem is insurance will only pay if the diagnosis codes meet what the insurance company considers a medical necessity and this varies from policy to policy. For example, my PCP put on a diagnosis code on a recent blood order for vit D test, then I was informed by the lab that medicare wouldn't for pay for it with that code, and it would have cost me $232 for a vit d test. BUT if I buy it privately I can pay $50 - $30 for the very same test at the very same lab. I refused the blood test and my PCP rewrote the lab order using a code that medicare will pay and I will do that blood test in 4 months at my next visit to the pcp. It's very difficult to figure out ahead of time what a particular policy will and will not pay for based on codes. There are probably 5 different codes for a vit D test. [/QUOTE]
