Sounds like it probably was all needle aspirations if they put some passes in cytolyt. If I am understanding your procedure, it appears there were 7 billable evaluation events. Bill 88172 for the first one and 88177x6 for the others.
You probably already know to bill 88173 for the final interpretation and 88305 if you made a cell block on the cytolyt specimen. -----Original Message----- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of histonet-requ...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2014 1:06 PM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: Histonet Digest, Vol 130, Issue 18 Send Histonet mailing list submissions to histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to histonet-requ...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu You can reach the person managing the list at histonet-ow...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Histonet digest..."

It was our first one,............! Pathologist was down in the Lab (we are a small hospital) and slides were sent down. He gave a dx/adequacy (none of them were really adequate for a proper dx) for each slide, they sampled 3 levels multiple times, some passes were grouped together. Slides came down about 7 different times for a total of 22. We received slides that some appeared to be "dropped on" and some were smears. And then after the procedure received aspirates in Cytolyte. It was a very interesting day! Much thanks! Tanya Tanya G.
