  • HPV Self Collection Screen | Clinical Diagnostic Laboratories

    Ordering information regarding an HPV Self Collection Screen for Clinical Diagnostic Laboratories. HPV Self-Collection Screening (HPV-SCS) Ordering Recommendation The HPV Cervical Cancer Self-Collection Test is a highly sensitive screening tool that enables patients to collect their own vaginal sample using an FDA-approved device. After collection, the specimen is processed using advanced nucleic acid amplification methods (typically PCR-based) to qualitatively detect high-risk HPV DNA associated with cervical cancer. This self-collected approach offers comparable diagnostic accuracy to traditional clinician-collected samples while minimizing discomfort and barriers associated with pelvic examinations, making it an effective option for early detection and timely clinical follow-up. Mnemonic HPV Self-Collection Screening (HPV-SCS) Methodology The specimen is processed using nucleic acid amplification techniques (generally PCR-based methods) to qualitatively detect the presence of high-risk HPV DNA. Performed Mon-Sat Reported Within 3-5 days Specimen Required Patient Preparation: Collect: Wash your hands and remove the sterile self-collection device before gently inserting it into the vagina up to the indicated marker. Rotate the device 2–3 times as instructed to collect an adequate sample, then carefully withdraw it. Refrain from douching, using intravaginal medications, or applying topical agents for at least 48 hours prior to collection. • Avoid sexual intercourse for 24–48 hours before sample collection. • If menstruating, confirm with the provider whether sample collection should be postponed until menses have ceased. Specimen Preparation: Immediately place the collection device into the provided vial containing the appropriate viral transport medium. Secure the vial cap tightly and gently invert the vial to mix the specimen with the medium. Ensure that the specimen is labeled accurately with patient identification and collection date/time. Storage/Transport Temperature: Maintain at 2–8°C during storage and transport. Avoid freezing unless the test kit instructions specifically allow it. Prompt transport to the laboratory is advised to maintain sample integrity. Unacceptable Conditions: Specimens that are unlabeled or improperly labeled. Inadequate sample volume or insufficient cellular material. Contaminated samples (e.g., with menstrual blood or external substances) beyond acceptable limits. Specimens showing leakage or compromised container integrity. Samples exposed to temperatures outside the recommended range prior to processing Remarks: Specimen source required. Stability: Reference Interval Negative Interpretive Data A positive result should be correlated with clinical history and may necessitate additional diagnostic procedures. Careful patient education on follow-up steps and interpretation of results is essential. This test should be used as a screening tool only; abnormal findings must be evaluated in conjunction with other clinical assessments.

  • Letter to Our Valued Patient | CDL

    Learn why our practice no longer accepts PPO insurance or Anthem HealthKeepers, what this change means for your care, and how we continue to prioritize accessible, patient‑focused treatment. Dear Valued Patient, We understand that navigating lab testing and insurance coverage can be confusing, stressful, and sometimes frustrating. Many patients expect that medically necessary lab tests will be fully covered by their insurance, only to be surprised by bills or claim denials. We want to take a moment to explain why this happens, and what options are available to you. Why Insurance Coverage Can Be Complicated Insurance companies often control which laboratories they will reimburse, and many have exclusive agreements with specific “preferred” labs. Even if your doctor orders a test that is medically necessary and has a preferred laboratory they wish to send it to, insurance may refuse to pay if the lab performing it is not on the insurer’s approved list. In addition: Claims can be denied for administrative reasons, not because the test lacks medical necessity. In 2023, studies showed that nearly 1 in 5 claims across commercial plans were denied, with out-of-network labs denied more than one-third of the time. Negotiated rates may not reflect the true cost of testing, leaving smaller or independent labs out-of-network and limiting patient choice. Large insurers sometimes rely on high-volume national labs (like LabCorp or Quest), which must process thousands of samples and often face delays, lost specimens, or reporting outside the necessary timeframe . “Insurance networks and claim rules can make testing feel more like a barrier than a service. That’s why we focus on transparency and patient choice.” Your Options: Affordable, Transparent Self-Pay To make testing accessible and predictable, we offer affordable self-pay pricing. Because all of our testing is performed in-house, locally, we can provide: Lower prices than national lab chains Faster turnaround times Greater accuracy and reliability If you choose to pay out-of-pocket, we will provide a superbill containing everything your insurance company needs to process a claim. This includes: CPT codes for all tests performed Diagnosis codes Our provider identifiers (NPIs) Itemized charges and documentation We are happy to assist you with any additional paperwork or information your insurer may request. Even if the claim is initially denied, we can provide supporting documentation to help you appeal. “We want you to have control over your care — and the ability to submit claims to your insurance if you wish.” Why Our Lab is Different Unlike large national laboratories: Everything is processed locally, in-house, giving us control over quality and timing We avoid unnecessary shipping, which reduces risk of lost or misreported samples Our focus is on patient-centered service, not volume This means you get your results faster, accurately, and at a fraction of the cost. We Are Here to Help We understand this situation is not your fault, and it’s not your choice. Insurance networks, coverage rules, and reimbursement policies are complex — even for providers. Our commitment is simple: Provide high-quality testing you can trust Offer transparent, affordable pricing Support you in navigating insurance reimbursement whenever possible “With self-pay options and superbill support, you can access the testing you need without unnecessary delays or surprises.” Take Action Today We make it simple to access testing services on your terms: If you have questions or need guidance about insurance or billing, please contact our team — we are happy to walk you through every step.
