[Histonet] Billing for Pin 4 Cocktail

[Vanessa Perez]

Its actually not allowed already.  Any cocktail where all stains are done at one time on one slide can only be charged x1 even if its 2 or more antibodys in the cocktail.  One of our reps updated us with our PIN cocktail

Our lab currently bills for three, and I know of other labs in our area that also bill for three. I have heard rumors that this may not be allowed in the near future.

We have a billing question for the PIN4 Cocktail that we perform on prostate needle biopsies.
We currently use the Biocare CK5+CK14+p63 and then add the Biocare P 504S in the lab.
How would you bill for this?
Would billing for 1 stain be correct or can you bill for 3 stains?

Thank you for your input.
