Our understanding is that they are only to be used as part of (or instead
of) a frozen section.  We are using them for sentinel node touch preps.

How are you all using the new touch prep codes? Do you use only if you are
giving a call back result or do you use them for any instead of the 88161? 
 
Thanks in advance, and happy new year to all! j
