[Blazek, Linda]

I know you have to have the correct ICD-9 codes attached but have not heard of pre-authorization.

Subject: [Histonet] Pathology charges

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?
