There is a good article concerning CPT coding in the July 99 CAP Today, the
author says no to your question.  It's a special stain charge per specimen
not per slide or per block.  Sheila

We are asking about performing the same special stain on multiple blocks
of the same specimen.  Example: Lung blocks 1A-1D.  Need AFB on blocks
1A and 1C.  Can you bill 88312 X2?
