[Histonet] IHC billing on archived case

[Weems, Joyce K.]

However, if it is a Medicare Patient - it would now be an archived case and would be treated as non-hospital. Medicare should pay. j

You should treat it as a new request.René

 Hello all,
After some discussion on IHC billing, I have been asked to verify accepted billing practice for the following situation:
An IHC request for 2 single antibody stains has been made by outpatient oncology practice on a case (same block) that was completed nearly a year ago. 6 IHCs were done initially (billed as 88342 & 88341 x 5). How should the new request be billed? Should a new visit/encounter be created and 88342 & 88341 be billed for this encounter?
Thanks in advance for the guidance.
