You are a manager of a clinical laboratory in a large community hospital with an extended outreach program among the local physician groups. A new urology group has moved into the area and would like your high complexity lab to offer bioavailable testosterone (CPT84410) testing on site. Currently, you perform Total Testosterone testing (CPT84403) only and specimens for a bioavailable testosterone test is sent by courier to a commercial reference laboratory out of state. Your current volume of bioavailable testosterone tests is 50 tests/year sent to the reference lab, which then charges your lab $130 for each bioavailable testosterone test.
