2014年8月25日 · Looking into doing UDS in my office with my own lab. I have just started looking into this, does anyone who already has a lab within their office have any advice or thoughts? The prelim numbers look great for an additional revenue source, but am still a little concerned Thanks

2016年1月4日 · I've been considering going solo after residency when a friend of mine, a pain specialist, reached out with a proposal. He mentioned that he would refer patients who might be candidates for medication management, TMS, Spravato. He also offered access to his TMS machine, staff for tms billing, and UDS lab (for any ADHD patients I might have.)

2005年5月8日 · If you own a UDS lab and test patients not being prescribed- that does not make clinical sense and looks to be financially motivated. How would getting that test change your treatment? Smells bad, looks bad. If my mom came to you for an epidural and you asked for a UDS, fingers up and bye bye. I would encourage her to report that behavior.

2005年7月4日 · ER UDS's are pretty worthless and have low sens for synthetics, they also set the cutoffs high for the ER many times. Repeat UDS now with good lab and confirm. Your average hosp lab is terrible at getting the info we need as pain docs. Since I switched to AIT I …

2014年8月24日 · In office UDS doesn't pay much. I don't know of any guidelines to test UDS when writing controlled substances, just opiates. In general, one should only order a test if the results are going to change the treatment plan. That being said, PCPs have been encouraged to UDS everyone since drug use/abuse is a major health problem.

2011年5月12日 · Where do you document information you want to show up on all notes thereafter, such as injection/procedure history and result, UDS lab result history, imaging result history with date? Since I couldn't find a good option I use the "hospitalization" tab to type in their injection history since it auto loads into all future notes.
