Testing

Is there a standard amount of time to perform a test taken into consideration for reimbursement? For example, is there a set time it should take our technicians to complete an OCT test in Ophthalmology and is what we get reimbursement have anything to do with the time it takes us to perform the test?

there is

in that when RVU's are set, it takes into account the resources needed, the costs of the supplies, the expertise, etc. If your techs are fast and crank them out, you can do more per hour and make more money but if your techs are slow then you cannot add a modifier to get paid more per test to account for that.
