Subject: [Histonet] Billing of Immunos


Hello Histonetters,

 

I have a question regarding Immuno billing.  If a case has parts 1 & 2,
and immunos ( 2 antibodies ) are done on 4 blocks of part 1, how many
immuno charges can be billed?  There seems to be some disagreement on
this.  I have always known it to be one charge per specimen per
antibody.  What are the exceptions, if any ?  

 

Thanks,

 

Ruth Cazares
