If the remaining fluid from the pap vial is centrifuged and a cell block prepared and interpreted can we bill an 88305?The pap was originally interpreted by a pathologist and an 88141 coded and billed. Then at a later date the cell block was prepared. There was also an IHC stain done on the cell block.
 
It's rather quiet on responses, isn't it?

Although I've not seen this done, I can't find anything that would prevent one from billing for the cell block and the stain.
 
we bill this when it is done at my place of service, so i would say yes, you can bill the 88305 for a cell block on a PAP
