I am looking for help/suggestions to code the following scenario related to pathology study. We are facing issue to submit right codes for billing and could not find guidance for these type of situation at my work place.
– Hospital lab receives specimen tissues from physician office for pathology study. Lab receives multiple specimens (12 in 12 jars) for the prostate biopsy foe mostly Medicare patients.
– Lab/Pathologist studies all 12 specimens individually and reports 12 final diagnoses for specimens/sites A – L.
– We are coding G0416 x 1 and 88344 x 12.
– We get paid for G0416 and 88344 x 1 (as 88344 has MUE 1 listed).
Please suggest me the proper correct way to code for this scenario. Also, if possible, what will be the highlighting points in reading prostate biopsy path report?
Thank you.
