[Histonet] Correct CPT?

[Feher, Stephen]

Sara,

We bill 88173 for our FNA's along with the 88305 when we do a cell
block. We have not had an issue with any of these getting kicked back.

Hey histoland
When we do an FNA we sometimes have a cell block and we bill CPT 88160
and 88305 These are sometimes kicked back to us and we put a 59 modifier
on the 88305 then it goes thru.  Are we doing this correct ?  Any
advice?

Thanks
