[Histonet] Hot Topic Medicare Code

[Mary Ann Deathridge]

HAPPY NEW YEAR HISTONETTERS! 

Ok, so here is a question for 2014 coders.    How do you code ( or should I 
say get to code) a doublestain for Medicare and for non-medicare? 

G0461 and G0462 (Medicare) and 88342 and 88343 for non-medicare. Can you 
charge for both antibodies in the doublestain or do you only charge one 
code and eat the second antibody on the same slide. 

  

Thanks for replies in advance.
