Tests performed and ordered correctly

The laboratory has a system in place to detect tests that are not performed due to a laboratory error and stop or credit the billing for these tests.
- The laboratory cannot bill for tests that are not performed.
- Employee aware of a test being canceled or not being performed for some reason must follow the policies and procedures associated with correcting the billing.
The laboratory only performs tests that are ordered by individuals authorized to order tests.
- If an employee knows that a test has been ordered by someone other then an authorized individual, the employee should report it to their supervisor or the CO.
