[Histonet] bone marrow billing fees

[Algeo, Lacie A]

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone is billing for a Histo technical charge on bone marrow aspirates and biopsies (i.e. an 88305) in addition to all of the Hematology fee codes.  Our Histology department does the grossing, embedding and microtomy for all bone marrow blocks, however we do not bill for/receive any revenue for this work.
Thanks,
Lacie
