Abstract
System and methods for providing laboratory-based authorization of genetic testing are disclosed. An order for genetic testing is received from an electronic health record ('EHR') system at a laboratory information system ('LIS'). A prior authorization request is automatically generated at the LIS from data parsed from the order and retrieved from the EHR and sent to a prior authorization provider. If a patient responsibility amount returned to the LIS is below a threshold, testing proceeds. If the patient responsibility amount is above the threshold, an electronic call center request is generated and the patient is contacted to obtain payment. If a billing consent is not obtained, the specimen for the order is destroyed.
