Dear Histonetters,
While we are on the topic of CPT coding, I am still looking for a good CPT
code for touch preps taken from a fresh specimen in connection with a
surgical tissue diagnosis, such as for a lymph node biopsy (usually coded
as 88305). I don't think it should be the same as FNA interpretation
(88173). Maybe 88104? Any suggestions?
