Yes. There are many instances where several tests are performed on the same sample and only one CPT code is available for billing for the different tests. Some examples are: PSA and free PSA (for calculation of PSA ratio); HDL and cholesterol (for calculation of the LDL/HDL ratio); toxo IgM and toxo IgG; dander IgE and ragweed IgE, etc.
