A coder at a hospital said we cannot charge 88342 X 2 for the Pankeratin /Calponin cocktail stain for Medicare patients. We can charge only X 1. I had heard the update about the prostate panel, but did not know about the Pankeratin / Calponin stains. I cannot find documentation to support what he is saying. He can't remember who told him this new rule. Any help / documentation on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
