Re: [Histonet] [EXTERNAL] ICD-10 Codes

Interesting--we always require and ICD from our submitting providers even 
though we are all part of the same group.

I don't think that is necessary.  Pathology services are coded by the 
pathologic diagnosis, unlike laboratory testing that requires an ICD10 code or 
reason for test request upfront.  The blog entry below mentions this 
distinction

What do you do when you receive a pathology consult and it is missing an ICD-10 
code?  I am being told that we cannot accession it until we get a code from the 
submitting doctor's office, and that we cannot add one.  Thank you.
