Qualitative Drug Screening Code Change

September 24, 2013

To align with CMS guidance related to qualitative drug screening codes, United Healthcare will require the use of HCPCS codes G0431 and G0434 to report drug screen testing. They will no longer reimburse CPT codes 80100, 80101, and 80104 for these services. These changes will occur in the first quarter of 2014.
