Laboratory Billing FAQs
What is a Local Coverage Determination (LCD) and why does it matter?
An LCD is a Medicare policy that defines coverage, medical necessity, and coding requirements for specific tests in your region. Billing outside LCD guidelines results in automatic denials.
When do I need to send an Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN)?
An ABN must be provided when a test lacks medical necessity per LCD guidelines or is likely to be denied. Proper ABN documentation allows patient liability if denial occurs.
How do panel codes differ from billing individual tests?
Panel codes bundle multiple related tests at a bundled rate. Strategic panel coding vs. component billing optimizes reimbursement while maintaining compliance.
