Wiki DOS for pro fee on diagnostic tests

Per Medicare, The DOS for the professional component of a diagnostic test is the date the doctor reads the test. We have always used the actual date the test is performed. When did MCR change this?

That has been the requirement for awhile now. Here is an MLN article dated back to 2010.
