Dear coders,
I enountered a report with specimen "Toenail clippings".
The gross description reads "Mulitple pieces of white / tan toenail clippings, 0.6 - 0.8 cm. Sunmitted representative tissue in a single cassette.
The diagnosis summary reads "Toe Biopsy, Nail - Onychomycosis".
I donot see the listing of nail in any of the surigical pathology CPT levels.
What is the appropriate CPT for the nail specimen? Is it 88302 or 88304
?
Kindly provide your valuable suggestions.
Thanks
