I have received mixed information about DNA testing done in office. Some of the reps said to use 81225-26, 81226-26, 81401-26 x2. Some of the people I've discussed this with argue you can't bill those codes because the lab will be billing them. I'm not sure about that logic because when we do a drug screen in office we bill a code from the pathology and labratory section of CPT, and I would imagine the lab does as well and we still get paid. Does anyone have any thoughts or information you could offer regarding DNA testing and coding for pain managaement doctors? Thank you very much!
