Qualitative Drug Screen Policy change

Effective May 19, 2015 the “Qualitative Drug Screen” policy title will be changed to “Drug Screen Testing” and will include information on coding updates. In addition, as communicated in the article, “Bundled Services and Supplies,” published in the February 2015 issue of Network Update, the Health Plan considers G0431 and G0434 to be always bundled services and not eligible for reimbursement. Anthem will accept the definitive drug testing codes 80150-80377 in place of G0431 and G0434.
