| DESCRIPTION |
This option is designed to be reviewed by billing department and/or the
report will provide an alphabetical list of active laboratory procedures
that have CPT codes. There are multiple report sorting options provided;
all are printed in the same format. The data printed is determined by
certain fields in the Laboratory Test (#60) file and WKLD CODE (#64) file.
Consult patch LR*5.2*291 documentation for coding guidelines.
There are two forms of the report depending if the test is panel or
atomic. This is an example of a AMA Compliant panel test.
Legend: IEN of test = Test Name
CPT code CPT code name [Field location where the CPT is located]*
Lab service to determine if laboratory file setup complies with billing
'*' Indicates this is a AMA Compliant panel.
If test is a panel: a listing of the atomic tests
*********** r = Required Test [IEN of test] Test Name
372 = LYTES
80051 ELECTROLYTE PANEL [DEFAULT SITE/SPECIMEN CPT]*
372 = LYTES
********** r[176] SODIUM
r[177] POTASSIUM
guidelines and regulations. This option should be assigned to persons
r[178] CHLORIDE
r[179] CO2
The second form is for atomic test. This form includes CPT codes by
specimen if the test has SITE/SPECIMEN (multiple) entries.
176 = r SODIUM
84295 ASSAY OF SERUM SODIUM [WKLD CODE-84295.0000]
176 = r SODIUM (SPEC) = URINE
84300 ASSAY OF URINE SODIUM [WKLD CODE-84300.0000]
involved with lab billing compliance including all applicable lab staff
176 = r SODIUM (SPEC) = SERUM
84295 ASSAY OF SERUM SODIUM [WKLD CODE-84295.0000]
176 = r SODIUM (SPEC) = PLASMA
84295 ASSAY OF SERUM SODIUM [WKLD CODE-84295.0000]
If the procedure has SITE/SPECIMEN (#100) field, each specimen will also
be indicated
(SPEC) = Specimen name from TOPOGRAPHY FIELD (#61) file.
(e.g. LIM, Lab Manager, AO, etc.).
This option will print CPT codes that will be passed to PCE based on the
Laboratory Billing Aware PCE reporting hierarchy. This report should be
used to assist proper CPT coding of laboratory test and panels. This
