When performing a High Complexity Drug Test 80301, 80302, G0479 are you able to conduct a Definitive Drug Test, when the test you are conducting is commercially available (but is not validated on the particular machine)? When performing the High Complexity Drug Test 80301, 80302, G0479, all the potential commercially available tests are not being ran currently, due to the need for an immediate result for point of care. There are drugs of abuse which could be validated on the high complexity machine, but this would not make the results immediately available for point of care. It would take too much time. Is the clinic obligated to run all the potentially commercially available tests before being able to run the confirmatory tests? If the clinic runs all the potentially commercially available tests, then the results would not be available for point of care.
Another question: For high risk patients and those with aberrant behavior (early refills, dose escalation, etc.), can the clinic spread its net wider to include drugs of abuse not detectable by presumptive testing (and not commercially available)? Also, can the clinic spread its net wider to include drugs of abuse not detectable by presumptive testing (commercially available, but not validated on the particular machine)?
Appreciate the feedback!!!!
