Could your laboratory benefit from the realization of additional Medicare reimbursement dollars? Are you aware that a simple electrophoretic assay such as Immunofixation can bring as much as $52.71 per test into your lab?

Do you remember electrophoresis testing as being difficult and time-consuming? Well, things have certainly changed and Sebia offers a walk-away electrophoresis instrument as a solution for your laboratory. Because the HYDRASYS requires minimal attention and maximum timesavings, your laboratory can perform electrophoresis testing in-house and gain or maintain reimbursement dollars!

Medicare reimburses most laboratory services individually as identified by the appropriate CPT code. Laboratory tests are billed directly to Medicare by the laboratory or physician performing the test.

Pathologists or other qualified physicians are also reimbursed by Medicare for the interpretation of specific electrophoretic assays. A -26 modifier, placed after the assay's CPT code, is used to indicate and bill for an electrophoretic interpretation service. Reimbursement ranges for a physician interpretation are from $16.60 to $21.50 depending on the geographic location of the provider.
