Our tests
The American Medical Association’s CPT codes issued by the Laboratory for Molecular Medicine are provided for informational purposes only. The codes reflect our interpretation of CPT coding requirements based upon AMA guidelines published annually. CPT codes are provided only as guidance to assist clients with billing. As such, the Laboratory for Molecular Medicine strongly recommends that clients confirm CPT codes with the applicable payor, as requirements may differ. CPT coding is the sole responsibility of the billing party and the Laboratory for Molecular Medicine assumes no responsibility for billing errors due to reliance on the CPT codes published. Please direct any questions regarding CPT coding to the payer being billed.

Insurance, pricing, and CPT codes
For patients seeking reimbursement from an insurance company
It is up to the patient to seek reimbursement from their insurance company. Every company has different policies and paperwork. We advise you to contact your insurer before submitting a sample for testing.
When calling an insurance company, you will need:
- The name, address and telephone number of the clinician recommending testing
- The name of the genetic test being recommended
- CPT codes for the recommended test
You should ask:
- Will I need pre-authorization?
- Will I need a letter of medical necessity?
- What is the reimbursement process?
- What will I need to submit for reimbursement?
- What forms are required and where can I find those forms?
- Where do I submit any paperwork?
