Purpose Urine drug testing (UDT) provides objective information to assist clinicians in identifying the presence or absence of drugs or drug classes in the body and making treatment decisions. This policy details: The appropriate indications and expected frequency of testing for safe medication management of prescribed substances in risk stratified pain management patients and/or in identifying and treating substance use disorders. Designates documentation, by the clinician caring for the beneficiary in the beneficiary’s medical record, of medical necessity for, and testing ordered on an individual patient basis; Provides an overview of presumptive urine drug testing (UDT) and definitive UDT testing by various methodologies. This policy addresses UDT for Medicare patients only. Definitions As used in this document, the following terminology relates to the basic forms of UDT: Presumptive/Qualitative Drug Testing (hereafter called "presumptive" UDT) - Used when medically necessary to determine the presence or absence of drugs or drug classes in a urine sample; results expressed as negative or positive or as a numerical result; includes competitive immunoassays (IA) and thin layer chromatography. Definitive/Quantitative/Confirmation (hereafter called “definitive” UDT) - Used when medically necessary to identify specific medications, illicit substances and metabolites; reports the results of analytes absent or present typically in concentrations such as ng/ml; definitive methods include, but are not limited to GC-MS and LC-MS/MS testing methods only. Specimen Validity Testing - Urine specimen testing to ensure that it is consistent with normal human urine and has not been adulterated or substituted, may include, but is not limited to pH, specific gravity, oxidants and creatinine. Immunoassay (IA) - Ordered by clinicians primarily to identify the presence or absence of drug classes and some specific drugs; biochemical tests that measure the presence above a cutoff level of a substance (drug) with the use of an antibody; read by photometric technology. Point of Care Testing (POCT) - Used when medically necessary by clinicians caring for the beneficiary for immediate test results for the immediate management of the beneficiary; available when the beneficiary and physician are in the same location; IA test method that primarily identifies drug classes and a few specific drugs; platform consists of cups, dipsticks, cassettes, or strips; read by the human eye, or read by instrument assisted direct optical observation. Standing Orders - Test request for a specific patient representing repetitive testing to monitor a condition or disease for a limited number of sequential visits; individualized orders for certain patients for pre-determined tests based on historical use, risk and community trend patient profiles; clinician can alter the standing order. Blanket Orders - Test request that is not for a specific patient; rather, it is an identical order for all patients in a clinician’s practice without individualized decision making at every visit. Reflex Testing - Laboratory testing that is performed "reflexively" after initial test results to identify further diagnostic information essential to patient care.
