THE HARD PARTS

What makes chemical pathology billing hard

Only some tests are professional services

Most chemistry tests are billed by the lab; only tests that need a physician’s written interpretation, such as electrophoresis, are billed by the pathologist.

Laboratory oversight

Quality control, certification and method validation are part of the job and must be documented.

Results to the right chart

Interpretations must reach the ordering provider quickly and be linked to the right patient.

WHERE THE WORK HAPPENS

How chemical pathology care is delivered and billed

Chemical pathologists direct clinical chemistry and toxicology laboratories in hospitals and reference labs. Most tests are billed by the laboratory as technical services; specific interpretive tests, such as electrophoresis, are billed by the pathologist as professional services with a written report.

What payers check on chemical pathology claims

Only tests that require physician interpretation are billed as professional services.
A written, signed interpretation is required for professional billing.
Laboratories may bill only for tests their federal certification covers.
Routine chemistry tests are billed by the laboratory, not the pathologist.
Diagnoses come from the order; abnormal findings are coded when no diagnosis is given.

Common chemical pathology diagnoses ICD-10-CM

D47.2	Monoclonal gammopathy
E83.52	Hypercalcemia
R77.8	Other specified abnormalities of plasma proteins
E78.5	Hyperlipidemia, unspecified
R74.01	Elevation of levels of liver transaminase levels
T50.901A	Poisoning by unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter

Examples only. The provider chooses the code that matches the documented diagnosis, and XEHR checks it against the note and the payer's rules before the claim goes out.
