Billing and CPT codes
Billing information
The Hospital for Sick Children's (SickKids) Molecular Genetics Laboratory will bill the health-care provider (hospital, referring laboratory, referring physician) or a patient/guardian.
Invoices are issued upon completion of each test/service. The itemized invoice includes the date of service, patient name, CPT code, test name and test charge. Questions about our billing can be directed to the Molecular Genetics Laboratory at 416-813-6590.
General instructions
A SickKids Requisition or other suitable document signed by the referring/ordering physician must accompany all specimens.
Specimens must be labeled with your own unique sample number, the patient's name and any other data necessary for identification. SickKids cannot process specimens that are not properly labeled.
Patient's full date of birth (e.g. 2000-01-29), sex, collection date and all other information should be supplied on the Requisition as requested to help in the interpretation of results.
Refer to the SickKids Accession Number or your own specimen number for inquiries.
Repeat testing and test cancellations received prior to test set-up will be honored at no additional charge. Cancellation requests received after test set-up cannot be honored. A report will be automatically generated and charged appropriately.
In case of patient billing
- The Hospital for Sick Children's Molecular Genetics Laboratory can bill a patient/guardian.
- Complete:
- The Molecular Genetics Requisition form at the time the specimen is submitted
- Section 3 of the "Laboratory Testing: Billing Form".
- The Molecular Genetics Requisition form at the time the specimen is submitted
- If you have arranged for us to bill a patient directly, please advise the patient to expect a bill from our laboratory and provide us with patient's valid credit card (American Express, Master Card or Visa) information.
- On the requisition form include:
- Patient's full name.
- Patient's current address with Apt. # and postal / Zip code.
- Patient's current phone # with area code.
- Patient's Social Insurance/ security number.
- Guardian's (responsible party's) full name, address and phone #.
