We have partnered with Quest, and have a physician owned lab. We are being told to bill as “office” place of service as opposed to “independent lab.” We have gone back and forth with our billing but our physicians want to see how other physician owned labs are billing. Billing with the office place of service is causing copays to be assigned against the lab work and patients do not get a copay if quest is running the lab tests because they are an independent lab.

Is this happening with your patients? How are you billing for these services?

Thanks
