Hi All,

>From the discussion a few days ago I had some questions concerning IHC
Billing.

Patient: B. Smith Has a Left and Right Breast Core Bx submitted as parts A
and B.   Both of which have ER, PR and Her2 done on them.  The Her2 is
negative so there is no reflex to F.I.S.H.

>From the discussion on Histo net I gather that the majority of facilities
would be charging for Quantitative/Semi-quantitative IHC x 6.  

Is there any literature or references that anyone is using to determine that
it is legal to charge for 6 instances?

At my current facility that same scenario would only be billed as 3
instances.

Any help would be appreciated.
