Hi there,
I have a question about touch prep billing (88333, 88334). We received a left breast sentinel lymph node #1, 2, 3, 4 and right sentinel lymph node #1, 2, 3. There was a touch prep performed on each, it was billed out as 88333 x7, Medicare is only paying for one unit, I believe stating we should bill 88334 for the additional units. I thought 88334 was for additional but on the same specimen? Would appreciate some feedback, thank you.
