Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Histonet] Cytology billing

I have a question for all you cytology prep Histo folk out there.

1.       If I have an FNA with 2 direct smears but NOT immediate interpretation, and an aspirate that is made into a Cell block, what will be the CPT codes charged?

2.       Also, If I have an FNA with 2 direct smears for immediate interpretation, and an aspirate that will only make a thin prep, what will be the CPT codes Charged?
Inquiring Histo minds need some clarity, please.
Thanks, Terri
