Wiki Urine Gonorrhea DNA denied

[Asti Winters]

Male patient presents w/ yellow penial discharge. DX code submitted 597.80 (unspecified urethritis)
Labs performed:
86803 (RPR)
87797 (Chlamydia DNA)
87592 (Gonorrhea DNA)
86803 (Hep C titer)
86706 (Hep B surface AB)

All were reimbursed by Aetna except for 87592. (not medically necessary denial)
Please help. Why was this denied/ Our student health clinic does many screenings and this test is always an issue. Any advice?

Thanks. Asti

Call aetna and ask where you can find their clinical policies for blood testing
