I have a provider that believes that they should be able to bill for technical charge for work being done on Electron microscopy. But in our pathology manual it states. It's never proper to report two codes for a complete microscopy study; that is, don't post 88348 for the ultra-thin section examination and another for the thick section review. Also, don't report technical or professional code for any type for "embed and hold" specimens; if processing is ordered and thick or ultra-thin sections are examined, the "embed and hold" step is part of the diagnostic procedure, but otherwise it's not chargeable as patient care event. Are they able to get any credit for the processing?
