[Histonet] Billing question

[Weems, Joyce K.]

Special stains are charged per block. If you have blocks A1, A2, and A3, and do AFB and GMS on all three that would be 6 charges.

Shhhhh... this will probably change next year!!

>From my understanding its just one charge.  Its per specimen such as A, B, C, etc.  Someone else said that it would be 2 charges so am I wrong on this??  If you did GMS on A1 and AFB on A2 then that would be 2 charges because its two different stains.

If I have two sections on an "A" specimen A1 and A2 and both had a GMS stain, do I charge 1 - 88312 or  2 - 88312?
