I'm a CPC-A so I am not 100% confident in my answer to this question so can anyone out there tell me...as medical coders do we code for labs conducted on air, water and/or soil sample via OSHA standards?

I don't recall coding or learning to code for these specimans, I thought it was only human related specimans but my employer has a long list of lab work done testing air, soil & water for things ranging from Aluminum to Zinc.

Any thoughts or guidance out there?

Thanks,
Amy
 
I can't imagine that any testing done on non-human samples would be considered medical care, nor can I imagine that it would be a billable service for insurance. If you have a client sending samples of that nature for testing, then I would assume you would bill that client directly.
