Please help!!!
So this is the scenario:
For a RUL bronchial washings, RUL bronchial brush/washing, RUL lung biopsy, right paratracheal fna, subcarinal fna, right hilum fna, cytologies: 1. squamous cell carcinoma, grade 3 of 3.
Intraoperative Consultation:
Fast stain Interpretation:
(Paratracheal) (Subcarinal) (Right Hilar) all 3 have their own documentation.
Gross and Microscopic Description also documented.
What would be the correct procedure codes?
It was listed with the 88112 88177 88305 and 88173 but can 88177 be used without the 88172???
