Billing Guide
GML offers the following billing options:
1. Contracted Client Billing
GML clients will receive monthly itemized invoices for services provided. To avoid errors in billing, request sheets must be properly filled out with complete patient demographic and client information.
2. Patient Billing
GML can bill the patient directly if complete billing information is provided on the test requisition form at the time the specimen is submitted. If you have arranged for GML to bill directly, please advise the patient to expect a bill from Geisinger Medical Laboratories.
On the test requisition form please include:
- Patient's full name
- Patient's current address
- Patient's current telephone number
- If appropriate, guardian's (responsible party's) full name, address and phone number
