[Histonet] CPT Code Help

[Weems, Joyce]

I think I've completely lost my mind! I believe that I recently read something regarding bundling and unbundling specimens for CPT coding that states that a thyroid gland, even if it is received in two containers, should be billed with one specimen only. Yet, I am unable to to recall where I read it. I have searched the archieves and don't find anything there. Could someone shed some light on this please? One total thyroid - one CPT code? 
 
Thanks in advance. Joyce
