Good Morning Histology Managers, The Chief Medical Director here at my facility proposed a question the other day regarding reimbursement for IHC testing from Medicare /Medicaid patients. I asked our billing manager, and she was going to investigate the matter, but I know my fellow histology managers out there in histoland are pretty up on these matters, so I am asking once again for your expert knowledge.
The laws have been going back and forth regarding how much we can charge, and I have been out of the loop for awhile. Can we charge for more than (2) IHC tests for these patients? Let's say you want to do a panel that consists of (5) IHC tests, can we only get reimbursed for (2) of those tests? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your information, Akemi Akemi Allison-Tacha BS, HT(ASCP)HTL Histology Manager APMG Laboratories 105A Cooper Court, Los Gatos, CA 95032 Contact: 800.848.2764 V/M: 408.884.2718 Fax: 408.884.2758 Cell: 408.335.9994 (W) E-Mail: aallison-ta...@apmglab.com (P) E-Mail: akemiat3...@yahoo.com _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
