Good afternoon.
Our doc is wanting to charge for CPT 88331. I have done reading and research but I cannot seem to either find the answer or truly understand the logistics of the code 88331.
Doc states separate specimens and has the codes as such:
88331, diagnosis 173.31
88331-59, diagnosis 173.41
Would this be correct billing for the CPT code 88331? The specimens were from two different areas on the body.
Can anyone help me to better understand this code and the correct usage?
Thanks,
Beth
