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
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.

This is from the CAP site... and here's the link:

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?

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.
