2. Hospital laboratories and laboratories of educational institutions which provide laboratory services to ambulatory beneficiaries as requested by a licensed practitioner.

(b) Services provided by any of the above laboratories shall be billed directly to the Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare program by the laboratory, and not by the dentist.
