26.4.3 Laboratory Paneling

A panel is defined as a group of tests that were performed together or in combination. Chemistry tests, urinalysis, and complete blood count (CBC) must be billed as a panel.

When paneling codes, the charge for the panel must reflect the total charge for the laboratory services.
