I work for a Dermatopathologist and I'm looking for advise on how to select the CPT code for sentinel node. Is it by the specimen or the diagnosis?

In my practice. If it is labeled as a “sentinel node” and there is a lymph node present we always code to 88307 regardless of the diagnosis. Hope that helps!
