If your lab prepares slides for an outside dr. & you bill 88305-TC, then the outside dr. sends that slide back to your lab for a 2nd opinion, can you then also bill 88321? CPT's inclusion of "slides prepared elsewhere" in the description for 88321 is throwing me off...
Thanks for any help!
 
If the other doctor already billed 88305-26, you can't bill another bx for it. I agree the "prepared elsewhere" description is probably something AMA didn't foresee in this riddle of a situation.

I don't think you're going to get anything better than 88321 since you are performing a consultation. The 88305 covered all material prepared. 88321 will only cover what is being sent to you for a second opinion.
