What service is the provider performing? Does the provider have an onsite lab?

According to EncoderPro:

O315U -

These services are performed by a single "sole source" laboratory or for laboratory services that are cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and licensed and/or marketed to multiple providing laboratories. These services are often referred to as Proprietary Laboratory Analyses or PLA services. Correct code selection is dependent upon the service being provided and the manufacturer of the equipment.
