Can we hold PET scan charges until path results from a biopsy are complete, and use the diagnosis listed in the path report? OR do we have to use whatever reason is shown for the PET?
No. You should code from the findings in the PET report for the PET scan. The biopsy results are a different finding and relate only to the biopsy procedure.
