client billing

I am looking for a current list of states that do and do-not allow client billing. I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find one. Does anyone have any knowledge in this area?

What do you mean by client billing?

re: client billing

What she really means is states that do not allow pass-thru billing, where the doctor bills for the test that is done by a contracted lab rather than in the doctor's office.

This is never permitted for Medicare or Medicaid and I know of no definitive list by state. It can also vary by insurer. In IL, BC allows it but UHC does not.
