Summary
Code +0833T describes clinical staff work performed to scan and digitize whole–slide images from glass microscope slides to use for immediate or later pathologic diagnosis. Report one unit of this add–on code for digitizing slides from one unit of cytopathology code 88161, which describes cytopathology (cellular material) slides of specimens not from other listed sources (meaning 88161 is appropriate when the specimen is not represented in another code). Code 88161 involves preparation such as touching a tissue specimen to a slide to gather cells for examination, called a “touch prep.”
