Additional Rapid Tissue Analysis During Surgery

Virginia rates for HCPCS 88332

This is an add-on laboratory service for examining an additional piece of tissue using a rapid processing technique during an operation, so a surgeon can get results while the patient is still on the operating table. It applies when more than one tissue sample from the same surgery needs this rapid, same-visit analysis. The findings can help guide decisions made during the surgery itself.
