Explanation

Office testosterone test for physicians whose practice needs point-of-care reproductive testing. Not insured in support of IVF or artificial insemination.

What it covers

G022 is a total testosterone test performed in the physician's office, listed under Reproductive medicine in Laboratory Medicine in Physician's Office. Free testosterone is a separate code, G023 (J65).

An office lab test is insured only when you, or a physician substituting for you, do it in your own office for your own patient. Codes in the separate Schedule of Benefits for Laboratory Services apply only to licensed private laboratories (J65).

Billing rules

• Reproductive medicine tests such as G022 are payable only to physicians for whom point-of-care testing is necessary for their practice (J65).
• Not insured when done to support in-vitro fertilization or artificial insemination (J65).
• The chart must record the result, your interpretation and the treatment decision based on it, or the test isn't payable (J65).
• Payable in addition to a consultation or assessment the same day (J3).
• Not payable on the same day as a counselling service by the same physician; G022 isn't among the listed exceptions (GP58).
• If an employee runs the test, the delegated-procedure rules apply; G022 isn't one of the simple office lab codes that may be done with you off site, so you must be in the office (GP62–GP63).

Often billed with

• A007 or another assessment at the visit where the test is done; office lab tests are paid in addition to it (A4, J3).
• G372 for an injection given at the same visit as another paid service (J54).
