Billing and medical necessity
Billing:
Highest risk activity a laboratory has. All laboratory activities contribute to the billing process.
Many of the risk areas included in this program are components of the billing function.
Medical necessity:
Medicare is only allowed, by law, to pay for tests that are reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Medical necessity is an underlying principle of the Medicare program.
Tests performed for screening or routine exams are not considered medically necessary by the Medicare program.
