Panels

AMA Approved Panels

Pathology Clinical Services offers the following panels/profiles. Individual components of these panels may be ordered separately. When ordering tests for Medicare or Medicaid patients, the physician should:

Only order those tests that he or she believes are medically necessary for each patient.

Be aware that using a customized panel/profile may result in ordering tests for which Medicare or Medicaid will deny payment.

Order individual tests or a less inclusive panel/profile if all analytes in the panel/profile are not medically necessary.

Understand that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, takes the position that a physician who orders medically unnecessary tests may be subject to civil penalties.
