You can bill anything but...
you need a CLIA waived certificate and number to legally perform the test, so you should not bill without it, certainly not to Medicare unless you want men in suites knocking at your door and ruining your week.

Clia
There is an article on CLIA in the database. It has the link to the CMS website, where you can find the updated list of CLIA waived tests. The list was updated July 15 2009.
