If you do not perform the test in your laboratory, you DO NOT need to submit for DEX Z-Code™ assignment. Please proceed to the Sharing section. The following information will aid in successful submission and expedited receipt of your DEX Z-Code identifier(s).
Helpful Hints to get started with Adding Lab Tests:
- Use the Add Test Worksheet to facilitate understanding the required information for test submission and gathering the test details for data entry
- NOTE: You must be a registered user in the DEX Registry to access the Add Test Worksheet
- This worksheet can be found on the DEX Registry home page, located under the action button
- Please consult with a clinical resource – Medical Director or Clinical Laboratory Scientist from your organization, who has detailed information about the methodology and makeup of the test(s)
During the data entry of your lab test:
- Use our tooltip icons to obtain further information about a field during your data entry
- You can save as “draft” if you don’t have all your information and return to complete & submit your lab test for a DEX Z-Code assignment later
NOTE: If your lab has a significant number of tests to enter, we suggest entering less than 5 to start to ensure correct data entry to ease the process.
DEX Z-Code™ Assignments:
- A DEX Z-Code is assigned to individual orderable tests and/or panels and not to CPT codes
