Is the genetics company billing the patient/insurance for clinical testing of the samples? If so, your lab can establish a contractual arrangement by which the genetics lab can pay your lab fair market value for the time and labor to provide the specimen.

Greetings from Big Sky Country, in the near future a genetic laboratory will begin requesting tissue samples from us ( cutting 20 micron sections placed in a micro-tubes ) for their testing. My question is, is there any other CPT codes besides 88363 to get reimbursed for our time and effort providing these samples?
