Extra Site Checked During A Surgical Tissue Consultation

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 88334

During surgery, a pathologist quickly examines a tissue sample under the microscope using a touch or scrape preparation, giving the surgical team an immediate read on what the tissue shows while the operation is still underway. This covers an additional site examined this way beyond the first, and it is billed in addition to the main procedure it supports.
