[Histonet] RE: Pathology charges

[Weems, Joyce K.]

I haven't heard of this. We do them on a daily basis and I have heard of no problems.

We've been told that before our pathologists can order/run any of these stains (CPT 88313, 88342 or 88360) on our pathology specimens, we must obtain a pre-authorization from the insurance carrier or the payment will be denied.
Has anyone else run into this?  How are you efficiently handling that?
