Debbie,
as far as I know, there is no modifier, all you can charge is a 88307.
That's the same case when you have a skin excision at a 88305. Even if it's
a melanoma excision and it takes 20 blocks, you can only charge an 88305.
The system is FAR from perfect.

Subject: [Histonet] Lumpectomy question
Good Friday Afternoon,
Does anyone know if there is a modifier for 88307 for Lumpectomies when
20-30 blocks are submitted.
We are currently charging 88307 but the pathologist thinks there should be
a modifier.
Thanks.
