New to lab billing and need some help on understanding these 3 codes. It seems that based on the description that they are all very similar, but am not sure which is the most appropriate. A provider uses a quick screen specimen container to check up to 12 drug classes and then sends the specimen on to our lab for confirmation on the urine. The patients are typically taking pain medications of one type or another.
Our lab uses LCMS technology, which is a liquid chromatography.
Any clarification that can be provided is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
