Hello!
Can anyone direct me to documentation regarding surgeries performed in an ASC setting where a tissue sample is sent to the independent lab for processing...? As to whether the tissue sample IS or IS NOT considered part of the ASC facility charge? I'm getting told where I work that the sample is considered part of the facility fee and therefore not separately billable. I'd like to know for sure as I believe this is not correct.
Thanks!
