Now, as you might have expected, none of the "inpatient" IHC testing has been accounted for (the outpatient IHC has been billed manually from the pathology report), and they want someone to go back and enter all the CPT codes into the system (hopefully, not me!). Has anyone else encountered this problem? Thanks (I think). Richard Richard W.
