FastDx UTi

Determine which type of insurance the resident has.
‍‍If they have traditional Medicare insurance, proceed to Step 2. If not, work with their provider to obtain Prior Authorization from their insurance company.
(Need help? Click here.)

To arrange for Prior Authorization, call the provider’s office
and inform their team of the following:

• The resident is in urgent need of a UTI test.
• Your community works with EmpowerMe Wellness,
  which provides a UTI test that offers results in 24 hours
  or less after specimens are received in the lab.
• Because the resident doesn’t have traditional Medicare
  insurance, prior authorization is required.
• The CPT codes for the test are 87798, 87640, 87481.
• For more information on EmpowerMe’s FastDx UTi test,
  go to empowerme.com/uti.
