Greetings from Doha!
This was much probably discussed before, but I was wondering if you could help
me with a query in regards to billing.
For the sites that are still doing an IHC negative reagent control for each
patient specimen, do you bill for the negative control? Using code 88341?
I
We recently added HER2 IHC testing in our lab which we are required to use a
negative reagent control
For each case. Is there a cpt code for negative reagent control reimbursement?
Any information on this
Would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Hey there, I was hoping someone out there has had success in using the now
unsupported VIAS scope/digital camera with an after market software. Please,
if you have, message me. Or, if you have not had success, information regarding
what you have tried and have not been able to get to work
We have not been charging for the negative control, assuming that it was just a
cost of doing business. I would be interested to hear if anyone has been
charging for their negative controls as well.

I have never heard of anyone billing for a negative control and would
highly recommend against doing so. As mentioned, it is a cost of doing
business--which is why when CAP clarified that polymer detection systems
did not require them, most cost-conscious labs quit running them.

Controls are never billable, a control test does not produce a usable result
based on the patient's specimen. The results of control tests - positive or
negative only tell you that your reagents, stains, antibodies etc. are
performing as expected.

I have a student that will graduate in June with eligibility to sit for the
HT exam. She will be looking for a job in the Eureka area. Does anyone know
about the HT employment outlook there?
Thank you,

I tried using a moldy orange peel as a GMS control, but the staining did
not work. I ran it in a 10 hour processing protocol. Should I try
something different? Any suggestions would be extremely helpful - we're
desperate for a GMS control.
