Hello! I sometimes get path results back with a diagnosis but no CPT code & I am wondering how to know whether I use an 88305 or an 88304. I don't understand how to know the difference despite having read the Surgical Pathology section of my CPT book. Thanks in advance.

What body organ or part is getting the biopsy? The lab codes define CPT 88304 vs CPT 88305 till CPT8807 list it in CT manual.. I know that CPT 88305 is used for polyps from intestine or colon. I hope helped you
