modifier L1 to each of the laboratory service CPT code(s) that are submitted as required by CMS.

Claim Process

• Claim Rejection
• A rejection is an unclean claim that contains invalid or

missing data elements required for acceptance of the claim in the claim process system. The provider will receive a letter or a rejection report from their EDI vendor if the claim was submitted electronically.

• Claim Denial
• A denial is a claim that has passed edits and is entered

into the system but has been billed with invalid or inappropriate information causing the claim to deny. An EOP will be sent that includes the denial reason.
