Each Medicare Administrative Contractor maintains its own LCD specifying which ICD-10 diagnoses support coverage for ANA, complement, immunoglobulin, and flow cytometry immunodeficiency testing. TransLabs maintains live LCD databases and validates diagnosis-to-test linkage on every Medicare claim before submission.
Medicare recognizes a maximum of 10 one-cc doses per multi-dose vial under CPT 95165, and the units billed must reflect the doses actually prepared and documented, not simply how many aliquots were removed. TransLabs tracks dose counts per vial and per patient automatically, the same control gap that has produced real payer audit findings and recoupment demands in this specialty.
Medicare and most commercial payers expect immunoglobulin, IgG subclass, and complement testing to be tied to a documented clinical change rather than billed on a routine surveillance schedule. TransLabs monitors testing frequency against each patient's clinical history and flags orders that risk a medical necessity denial before submission.
Reflex panels, such as an ENA panel triggered by a positive ANA, must be supported by documentation showing the reflex logic was followed and clinically appropriate, not applied as a blanket protocol to every specimen. TransLabs builds these reflex rules directly into claim validation.
When an HLA typing panel, extended flow cytometry workup, or immunotherapy course may not meet medical necessity criteria under the applicable LCD, a valid ABN must be issued before testing begins. TransLabs builds ABN workflows into front-end intake for these higher-scrutiny test categories.
The CLFS sets Medicare payment rates for clinical immunology lab tests and updates annually on January 1. TransLabs monitors CLFS changes, updates billing tables immediately at each rate change, and identifies when a payer is paying below CLFS rates.
State and federal audits have repeatedly identified allergen immunotherapy claims where the number of doses billed exceeded what the medical record supported, resulting in recoupment. TransLabs builds compliance protocols specifically around this documented risk pattern to reduce your audit exposure before it becomes a problem.

Clinical immunology billing spans reflex-driven autoimmune serology, immunodeficiency testing with complex marker panels, and dose-unit allergen immunotherapy billing, each with its own frequency rules and audit history. Most generalist billers understand only one of these categories well, if any.
A positive ANA, for example, often triggers a reflex ENA or anti-dsDNA panel under the lab’s protocol. That reflex testing must be captured and billed as a distinct service, supported by documentation showing the reflex logic was followed, not applied as a blanket rule to every specimen regardless of the initial result.
Medicare recognizes a maximum of 10 one-cc doses per multi-dose vial under CPT 95165, regardless of how many aliquots are actually removed from that vial. Billing beyond that limit, or billing more doses than the medical record supports, is one of the most frequently audited findings in allergen immunotherapy billing.
Typically 6-9% of net collections, reflecting the coding complexity specific to reflex serology and dose-unit immunotherapy billing. TransLabs charges transparently with no setup fees, tech fees, or long-term contracts. Revenue gains from reflex capture and dose accuracy usually offset the fee within 30-60 days.
Yes. Our coders handle the full clinical immunology and allergy/immunology test menu, including autoimmune serology, immunoglobulin and complement testing, flow cytometry immunodeficiency panels, HLA typing, and allergen immunotherapy preparation and administration.
