Good Morning, I have a question regarding billing for a renal biopsy. When we receive a renal biopsy we process, embedd, and cut the block. We make 16 slides. Two for H&E, one of which is sent with the 14 unstained slides to another facility with the EM and IF portion of the renal biopsy. Our pathologist gets one H&E. Our pathologist does not make the diagnosis. How should this be billed? We are currently billing 88305 for the technical component. I cannot find a direct answer on how this should be billed. Does anyone know?
Thank you and have a great day.
