Hello,
Independent laboratory is sent urine from a urology group to run UroVysion FISH and the samples submitted are inadequate due to insufficient sample volume. The lab performs all the work (report copied below following HIPAA) only to see that it is insufficient. Can we still bill for services since the lab did perform all this work and does not know the sample is insufficient until everything is done?
Under Gross description it states that the condition of the specimen is acceptable but once everything is done its insufficient. Help with this would be as always greatly appreciated!
