Johns Hopkins DNA Diagnostic Lab


Contract Managed Care/Insurance Billing

We are contracted with many national health plans, though we are not contracted with HMO plans or many smaller regional plans.

We strongly recommend contacting our billing coordinator prior to submitting a sample to arrange insurance billing.  Faxing the patient's Insurance Card ahead of time will allow us to verify the contract status.

The following documents are required to bill a contracted insurance plan.  All required items must be received prior to test initiation.

 Copy of patient's insurance card, front and back

 Letter of medical necessity from referring physician

 Authorization letter (if required by the insurance plan), including the authorization number and CPT codes authorized.     OR

 If no authorization is necessary, note the name and extension of the plan employee who provided this information.
