Our laboratory does no direct patient billing, and I have a question regarding billing and reimbursement (primarily Medicare, but also insurance companies)  It is my understanding that a clinical flow cytometry laboratory can bill for each antibody used, which in an extensive leukemia/lymphoma work-up can add up to significant cost.  How are people billing for their cases and how are they being reimbursed?  Do the insurance companies and Medicare have a limit on how many antibodies they are reimbursing for?  Thanks in advance for your comments.
