If the request is received more than "30" days from the original 
date-of-service, we re-accession the specimen, and bill and report the test 
result(s) under the new accession number.  The requesting MD now becomes the 
submitting MD.

Hi all,

We have been getting a lot of requests for tests such as Lynch syndrome on old 
hospital cases.  How do all of you handle the billing on these?  Do you ask the 
clinician to send updated insurance information and then log in a new case?

Thank you,
Noëlle

Re: [Histonet] tests on old cases

[Normington Lacy via Histonet]

At our institution, if the request is received more than "30" days from the 
collect date, we create a new HOV for the patient.  That way the addendum is 
still on the same case number.  The collect date is changed by our LIS 
department to be the "request to pull from archive" based on Medicare 
requirements.  We add the requesting physician to the existing case.
