Specialized Multi-Stain Lab Test On Tissue

Maryland rates for HCPCS 88344

A tissue sample is treated with a specialized combination staining technique in the lab to help identify specific characteristics of the cells present, such as markers that support a cancer diagnosis. This version reflects a more complex, combination-stain method rather than a single individual stain.
