Special Stain Applied To A Rapidly Prepared Tissue Sample

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 88314

This laboratory service applies a special staining technique to a tissue sample that has been rapidly frozen and prepared, often during surgery, to highlight specific structures or substances under the microscope. It helps a pathologist identify features that aren't visible with routine staining alone. The results contribute to same-day findings when time-sensitive information is needed during an operation.
