You should treat it as a new request.René On Wednesday, March 22, 2017 11:25 AM, "Haines, Beth via Histonet" <histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu> wrote:
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.
