SITUATION.
PATIENT SEES A CARDIOLOGIST, THEY ORDERED LABS. OUR CARDIOLOGY DEPT DOES NOT HAVE IT'S OWN LAB, THEREFORE THEY SEND THEM DOWNSTAIRS TO OUR FAMILY PRACTICE LAB TO HAVE THE BLOOD DRAWN, THEN SENT OUT TO QUEST FOR TESTING. WHICH IS THE CORRECT WAY TO BILL THAT CHARGE?
UNDER THE CARDIOLOGY PROVIDER THAT ORDERED THE LABS?
OR ONE OF THE FAMILY PRACTICE PROVDERS WHERE THE BLOOD WAS DRAWN, WHICH IS ALSO OUR CENTRAL LAB?
ALL PROVIDERS ARE UNDER THE SAME PRACTICE UMBRELLA.
THANK YOU
