Comprehensive Second-Opinion Pathology Review

Montana rates for HCPCS 88325

A pathologist conducts an in-depth review of medical records along with previously prepared tissue slides or specimens that were sent from another facility, then provides a detailed written report of their findings. This is typically requested for a second opinion on a complex or serious diagnosis, or before starting specialized treatment. It draws on material that was already prepared elsewhere, rather than newly obtained tissue.
