IF Initial, Professional Only (Bill Only)
Use
This test listing is used solely for billing purposes within the laboratory. It is not available for order as a diagnostic assay and does not provide any clinical diagnostic information or outcomes. The purpose of the test code is to enable proper administrative and billing functions related to professional laboratory services.
Special Instructions
As the test is for billing purposes only, it cannot be ordered directly by healthcare providers or patients. Therefore, there are no specific instructions regarding specimen collection, but administrative handling processes may apply for billing reconciliation. Billing staff should ensure all administrative details are correctly processed.
Limitations
Since the test is not an orderable diagnostic assay, it has no associated diagnostic performance characteristics such as sensitivity, specificity, or clinical utility. It should not be used for clinical decision-making or patient management purposes. The absence of orderability further means there are no constraints on specimen quality, transport, or processing in a diagnostic sense.
