[Histonet] CPT codes

[Parker, Helayne]

Hi all,
  Does anyone know the correct charges to charge a breast lump that must
be inked.  Someone told us we could only charge a -307 if it has cancer
in the micro margins.  As much gross work is done either way (cancer or
not) so what is the real truth ?  We have given most lumps 305 and I am
thinking we are undercharging.

Thanks,
