We bill the same CPT codes that the reference lab bills.

	I am getting two conflicting opinions on a billing situation. If we
send out
	a renal biopsy to another lab for electron microscopy, light
microscopy, and
	immunofluorescence - do we bill our hospital patient for each test
by CPT
	code for that test, or do we bill an 88323?

	Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
