Introducing the Test Not Performed (TNP) Report

To help you manage billing charges associated with test cancellations and tests not performed, Mayo Clinic Laboratories has an interactive Test Not Performed (TNP) Report. The report:

  • Captures TNP and canceled results at the orderable level of a test code.
  • Identifies at the test level when a TNP or cancellation has occurred for orders that contain complex test build and billing structures such as reflexes and profiles.
  • Enables clients that bill on order the ability to manage credits based on testing that was not performed.
  • Allows laboratories to proactively work with providers on recollection or next steps for best patient care.
  • Does not replace the client invoice, which will continue to be the complete billing record.
  • Users can now export TNP data to an Excel file. The columns and rows in the Excel file are fully expanded when the user opens the file. Therefore, all text in the Reason column (and all columns) is immediately viewable.
  • A new “Completed” column has been added to the TNP search results table. Users can check the checkbox for a row in the table to indicate the report has been managed/completed. The column can be sorted by clicking the arrows in the column header.
