We perform the following tests at our in-office location (Location One), where the patient is seen and the specimen is collected. The specimen is then sent to our in-house laboratory located at a separate office (Location Two), where the tests are processed and resulted.
We are receiving denials from UnitedHealthcare only, citing issues related to the CLIA number.
