Abstract

Accurate coding and billing of procedures performed in the laboratory are extremely important. The following serves as a brief introduction to appropriate coding. However it is not the intention, nor is it possible, to provide definitive guidelines for any specific laboratory. Rules differ in different states and for different health maintenance providers. Always seek advice and check with local billing experts for accuracy.
