Wiki Path Billing

[chewri]

Can anyone tell me where to go to gain Pathology Coding knowledge? I work for a ASC and one of the Dr.'s offices now has their own lab but they do not code the path reports so it is now put on me to bill them for our center. I am totally at a loss and extremely frustrated!
Thanks
