UHC – Laboratory Test Registry Protocol

Effective Jan. 1, 2022, claims for most laboratory test services must contain your laboratory’s unique test code for each service. Additionally, each test code submitted on a claim must match a corresponding laboratory test registration provided in advance to us, or we will deny the claim. To ensure compliance with these requirements, free standing and outpatient hospital lab providers should register their laboratory tests prior to December 1, 2021.

These requirements apply to most UnitedHealthcare Commercial, Medicare Advantage and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan networks.
