previous month. Statements are computer itemized
to facilitate reconciliation. Simply place an “X” in
the area labeled “Bill Client” on
the preprinted requisition form. Payment

Federal statutes, RDL is prohibited from offering “Professional
Courtesy” testing. |

for laboratory tests performed by RDL. Complete
all required information on the requisition form,
including placing an “X” in the “Bill

RDL bills for Medi-Cal and Medicaid
(in those states that allow out-of-state lab
work to be performed). Enter the correct numbers
on the requisition form with the patient’s
address, birth date and issue date. If possible,
a copy of the card is appreciated. Place an “X” in
the appropriate area. To facilitate billing,
please have patients sign the Insurance/HMO/Medicare
waiver on the requisition form.
Since our referral laboratories do not bill
for out-of-state Medicaids, we would appreciate
that any sendout tests for your patients with Medicaid not
be sent to RDL.
