- 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.

Specimen Required Patient Preparation: Collect: Serum Pre-dose (Trough) Draw - At a Steady State Concentration in Plain Red. Specimen Preparation: Separate from cells ASAP or within 2 hours of collection. Transfer 2 mL serum to a Standard Transport Tube. (Min: 1 mL) Storage/Transport Temperature: Refrigerated. Unacceptable Conditions: Whole Blood, Citrated Plasma. Tubes that contain liquid anticoagulant.or Serum separator tube (SST). Remarks: Stability: Ambient: 5 days; Refrigerated: 5 days; Frozen: 3 months Reference Interval Test Number Components Reference Interval Total Carbamazepine Free Carbamazepine Therapeutic Range: 4.0-12.0 µg/mL Toxic Range: Greater than 15 µg/mL Therapeutic Range: 1.0-3.0 µg/mL Toxic Range: Greater than 3.8 µg/mL Percent Free Carbamazepine 8.0-35.0% Interpretive Data The therapeutic range is based on serum pre-dose (trough) draw at steady-state concentration. Free carbamazepine may be important to monitor in patients with altered or unpredictable protein binding capacity. Carbamazepine is also subject to drug-drug interactions due to displacement of protein binding and extensive metabolism. Cross-reactivity with metabolites may account for differences in carbamazepine among analytical methods. Calculating percent free attempts to minimize differences in assay cross-reactivity and may be useful in dose optimization. A rare adverse drug reaction to carbamazepine therapy includes Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. Patients of Asian ancestry with the presence of the HLA-B*15:02 have an increased risk for this carbamazepine-induced life-threatening reaction. Pharmacogenetic testing for HLA-B*15:02 is recommended for patients at risk for carbamazepine hypersensitivity prior to treatment. This information has been included in the FDA-approved label for carbamazepine (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/daf/index.cfm) and guideline from the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (https://www.pharmgkb.org/guidelines). A combination of therapeutic drug monitoring with HLA-B*15:02 pharmacogenetics genotyping may benefit patients who are at increased risk for developing carbamazepine-induced adverse events due to rare genotypes other than HLA-B*15:02 variant allele.
