Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
If syphilis total (SYPHT) is nonreactive, billing will be captured under SYPNB.
If syphilis total (SYPHT) is reactive or equivocal, then rapid plasma reagin (RPRS) will be performed. Billing will be captured under SYPPB.
If RPRS is reactive, then RPR titer (RRPRQ) will be performed at an additional charge.
If RPRS is nonreactive, then syphilis antibody (RTPPA) will be performed at an additional charge.
