Wiki Date of service clarification

[marybrady1]

I'm hoping someone can provide clarification on a date of service question. Per CMS, the initial date of service is the collection date. When an additional pathology service is done to the same specimen on a later date, does the original date of service apply or the second date? Thanks!!

Hopefully this will help!
