Sentinel nodes
From: | Patricia Karlisch <pkarlisch@geisinger.edu> |
Histonetters:
I have a question about billing for sentinel nodes. We receive these from outside hospitals. Sometimes the requests are for 8-10 blocks requiring several immunohistochemistry stains. Each node is received in a separate block. Are all 8-10 blocks considered billable? Is each node considered a separate specimen? I would appreciate any help you can give me on this. Thanks,
