Ouch! -----Original Message----- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Cartun, Richard Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2015 4:34 PM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] IHC billing question
Effective January 1, 2015, our LIS team removed all of the CPT 88342 codes for IHC from our CoPath stain dictionary since you couldn't tell whether a Cytokeratin-7 was being performed as an "88341" or as an "88342". Now, as you might have expected, none of the "inpatient" IHC testing has been accounted for (the outpatient IHC has been billed manually from the pathology report), and they want someone to go back and enter all the CPT codes into the system (hopefully, not me!). Has anyone else encountered this problem? Thanks (I think). Richard Richard W.
