Subject: [Histonet] billing question

I am looking for advice on a current billing problem.

Breast specimens: We recieve the lumpectomy with orienting sutures - 88307 
along with that are the accompanying margins (inferior, superior, medial, etc). 
 Our breast surgeon has been placing orienting sutures on all of her margins.  
We had previously been billing under the assumption that the unsutured margins 
were 88305, but now with the sutures should we be billing an 88307 or still 
88305 since they are margins?

Thank you in advance for your help

Allison

Re: [Histonet] Billing question

2015-05-08 Thread Campbell, Tasha M.
From my understanding its just one charge.  Its per specimen such as A, B, C, 
etc.  Someone else said that it would be 2 charges so am I wrong on this??  If 
you did GMS on A1 and AFB on A2 then that would be 2 charges because its two 
different stains.

This is incorrect. The response from Joyce Weems is correct.

And yes, it's confusing to everyone.



Special stains are billed per block

IHC is billed per specimen



So a GMS on blocks A1 and A2 is GMS charge x 2



If you are not charging special stains per block you are losing revenue you are 
entitled to for 2015

Hey Joyce,

My understanding has always been that if the pathologist specifically
mentions the stain in the report, then it's OK to charge all the fees.
However, if the pathologist chooses to leave any mention of the stain/immuno
in the report, then you can't bill for it.  So if the pathologist mentions a
specific stain was done, but that the findings were negative, you can still
charge.  In the case of an exhausted tumor, I think the ultimate discretion
comes to whether or not the pathologist chooses to mention it in the
report.  That's just from my experience, but I would love to hear how others
are handling instances such as these, too!

RE: [Histonet] BILLING QUESTION

2010-07-02 Thread Feher, Stephen
You can contract for services to another lab or hospital and depending
upon the terms of the contract, you may be able to bill the patient.
For example, you send all of your HER2's and ER/PR to another lab to be
stained and quantified into a score.  You may contract with the other
lab for them to charge you a flat fee for the service and you will bill
the patient for 88361x3.  

The other side is that you can contract for the other hospital to do the
test, bill the patient and your hospital pays no fee but misses out on
some of the compensation.

Hi all!

Question for those familiar with all the billing regulations: If you
use an
antibody that is for RUO (research use only) or ASR (analyte specific
reagent),
can you bill the patient for these immunos?

As your pathologists first because even when we charged for IHC to the 
patients, there was always a disclaimer saying that the Ab was for research, in 
spite of which, the charges were done (they are essentially for the pathologist 
interpretation).Hope this will help you.
