Can anyone tell me if the cpt 80300(single or multiple drug class) can be billed 6 units max for commercial insurances.
We are being told by a rep who wants us to do drug screening trough them we can bill it 80300x6. Now in the February issue of the AARP magazine I noticed that it said it can only be reported one time.
 
80300 x1 is my understanding

See also p. 472 of the CPT Professional Edition: "For example: To report five (5) presumptive drug classes performed using a direct observation device procedure (drug test cup or five separate dipsticks), report 80300 once per date of service"
