My Doctor ordered blood tests for me that Medicare wouldn't cover. Just because the Doctor orders it, doesn't mean Medicare will pay for it. Like Louis said, it has to be medically necessary...according to Medicare, based on the coding Tom.The patient is evaluated by a Board Certified Physician and that same Physician orders the lab tests. The Marketer doesn't order the labs / screens - the Physician does.
The only issue that I see is that a Patient can only have one screen paid for by Medicare once per life.
