Extended Cell Sample Exam By Pathologist

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 88162

A pathologist's detailed study of loose cells - not an intact piece of tissue - that have been spread onto slides from a sample such as a fluid, a brushing or a scraping. This is the fuller version of that review, using extra slides or additional stains because a routine look was not enough to reach an answer.
