Hi out there,

Can anyone from the U.S. tell me what your fee schedule for clients is based
upon?  We do histology for several hospitals and surgicenters and are trying
to re-vamp our prices.  I would just like to know what the current market
value for the following codes are (technical component only):

88304 - Level III Surgical
88305 - Level IV Surgical
88307 - Level V Surgical
88309 - Level VI Surgical
88342 - Immunohistochemical stain

We have had several suggestions from the pathologists (ie, a percentage of
the Medicare fee schedule, etc) and I could sure use some input.  Please
feel free to write to me without posting on the net.

Thanks
