[Histonet] fte in histogy based on cpt codes

[Nina J. Rich]

Is anyone using CPT codes to calculate their FTE/variable labor for histology and cytology?   For example how much time would be calculated for each 88305?  In the main lab they use 20 minutes as a unit so if a procedure takes 40  minutes it would equal  2 Dir Variable labor units.  If so, can you share what each code would equal In time or units. I realize it would have to be an average due to varying blocks counts for each case.  Any input would greatly be appreciated. Thanks. Jean
