[Histonet] 88363 cpt code

[joelle weaver]

By my recollection of the cpt resource, it depends on if the material needs to have additional slides or tissue preparation prepared in that facility. If so, I believe that you have some TC charges. I can do a double check on that for all.

Is there a "Technical" charge (TC) for 88369 or is it only a "Professional" charge that the pathologist bills?

I was wondering if anyone bills insurance companies for a 88363 cpt code? This is for retrieving archived blocks and slides, packaging them and sending them out to outside facilities for molecular testing (PTEN, KRAS,etc). If you do bill, what is the charge? 
 
  
 
Thanks,
