BILLINGS CLINIC MANUAL
For example, if a patient with leukemia has a low platelet count, and a manual platelet count is performed (85032), it is not appropriate to bill the 85032 in addition to the CBC ordered. It is inappropriate to report a confirmatory test separate from the ordered CBC test. 27th Walk-In Clinic Medical Clinics Medical Centers Clinics Website (406) 237-5110 1027 N 27th St Billings, MT 59101 CLOSED NOW From Business: If you have cold or flu symptoms you can’t shake, a minor injury or another issue that can’t wait, our team is ready to help.
