RE: [Histonet] Discontinuing Negative Reagent Controls for IHC

Here at CSI Labs we stopped negative controls for routine assays last August upon verification of the new standard and it has not been a problem. We do, however, continue to validate using negatives to ensure good quality. Mark Turner, Ph.D., HT(ASCP)QIHC Manager, Histology/IHC CSI

[Histonet] Discontinuing Negative Reagent Controls for IHC

We happily discontinued use of negative controls a year ago, and it was a non-issue on CAP inspection. We do continue to run them on stains for Image, as that system was FDA approved and validated using a negative control. Donna Millard Director of Anatomic Pathology Physicians Reference

[Histonet] TMA for ER and PR

We are in the process of validating ER and PR and are not having much luck. My pathologist was curious if any companies happen to sell control slides for these antibodies that contain cores of each score. (He actually is looking for something similiar to the CAP proficiency slides). Any

[Histonet] 2014 IHC CPT coding

My understanding is that 88342 is used for the first IHC antibody, then 88343 is used for each subsequent antibody (per specimen part). Is that correct? Thank you. Richard Richard W. Cartun, MS, PhD Director, Histology Immunopathology Director, Biospecimen Collection Programs

[Histonet] RE: 2014 IHC CPT coding

And there are different codes for Medicare which is going to be a mess. We can't bill on order because we will have to know if the patient is Medicare if I understand it correctly. Joyce Weems Pathology Manager 678-843-7376 Phone 678-843-7831 Fax joyce.we...@emoryhealthcare.org

[Histonet] RE: 2014 IHC CPT coding

88342 for the first IHC antibody then 88343 for subsequent antibodies on the SAME SLIDE is my understanding. Linda -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Cartun, Richard Sent: Tuesday, December

Re: [Histonet] 2014 IHC CPT coding

I got information they got rid of 88342 all together and added G codes. One for the 1st slide stained and another for each additional stain. Can anyone verify and give a link? Sent from my iPhone On Dec 10, 2013, at 4:33 PM, Cartun, Richard richard.car...@hhchealth.org wrote: My

Re: [Histonet] 2014 IHC CPT coding

Yes, we are trying to wrap our heads around this one. 24% drop for the first IHC stain done on a specimen and 41% for each one following. This will hit our IHC department hard. Perhaps even will hurt patient care. At least the 88360 came out unscathed. Patrick Laurie Celligent Diagnostics

RE: [Histonet] 2014 IHC CPT coding

Anyone doing Ventana's Dual ISH will take a big hit... you will not be able to apply two 88368 codes to the same slide - so a 50% reduction there... ___ Sheila Tapper Anatomic Pathology Supervisor Essentia Health SMDC Clinical Laboratory | SMMC Pathology

[Histonet] 2014 CMS/AMA IHC Changes

We are incorporating the new rules into our LIS/billing system for 2014. I just to verify how others are interpreting these rules. Medicare - my understanding is that the G codes are used for all IHC, G0461 for the first IHC and G0462 for any additional antibody on the same specimen,
