[Histonet] EM question

[Cartun, Richard]

I have a question for those labs still performing Electron Microscopy for diagnosis.  What do you do if you have a specimen that turns out to be "unsatisfactory" for evaluation after you have done all the prep work?  Can you bill an 88348 (technical charge) without billing the professional fee (88348-26)?  Thank you.

Richard
