Generally we prefer to make an addendum to the original report). For addendums, since we can't add new tests to the old accession number, the work is done under a non-clinical accession number (ie, research, teaching) and then the information is appended to the original report. The non-clinical number is just a work-around so we don't have a second clinical number to refer to. A second accession number is usually used if extensive testing outside histology is required, ie, molecular path.

Within that 30 days, you bill the same account, which adds late charges. IF the case is pulled for a review to perform MOLECULAR testing, you can charge an 88363 for that review at any time for that review. (Our pathologists add an addendum stating Dr. So and So requested KRAS, EGFR - etc. which documents the charge.) After 30 days we have the case registered and the case is billed on the new registration if stains are done inhouse.
