Short answer: no. This is a coding question that requires access to the patient's chart, which I don't have.
Slightly longer answer: 80101 and 83518 are two separate tests. If the doctor tested 80101 in his office, and you are at the lab, you should be doing a test other than 80101.
To recap a clia-waived situation:
1. A doctor can take a sample in his office, test part of the sample, and send the rest of the sample off to an outside lab for further testing.
2. The doctor and the outside lab can both bill for the test(s) they perform, so long as the test(s) the lab performs are different from those the doctor performed.
Your situation seems to satisfy this criterion.
