What is Routine drug testing?

Technically, there is no such thing as a routine lab. Every lab test should only be ordered for a reason. Insurances now do not pay for tests for no reason. Every test should be associated with some diagnose to be covered. For example, if you put in a diagnose of 'Physical Exam,' then you cannot order any test for that. On the other hand, if you put obesity or overweight as a second diagnose (unfortunatly, this is true in the vast majory of people), then you can order cholesterol, Diabetes, thyroid screening tests, ect.
