KEW accepts 100% of the Medicare allowable amount for our services. If there is a deductible, co-insurance or co-payment, the patient will be responsible for those amounts.

If the patient has a supplemental insurance to Medicare, we will also bill this secondary insurer as long as the information for the insurer has been provided.

If your patient does not have insurance, or wishes to self-pay, please have them call 855.225.4068 and press 1.

The “14 Day Rule” (Medicare Date of Service Regulation 42 C.F.R §414.510) outlines whether or not a laboratory, such as KEW, can bill Medicare for clinical laboratory services based on when a Medicare patient was discharged, including outpatient discharge.

The “14 Day Rule” is triggered by the date the testing was ordered by the physician. If a physician submits an order less than 14 days after an inpatient or outpatient is discharged, KEW will bill the hospital for performing the test. If a physician submits an order more than 14 days after the inpatient or outpatient is discharged, KEW will bill Medicare.
