What 88188 covers

This service is the professional interpretation and written report of flow cytometry findings from a panel of 9–15 markers. A pathologist or other qualified laboratory professional may evaluate results from peripheral blood, bone marrow, lymph node, or fluid specimens when assessing suspected leukemia, lymphoma, or another hematologic disorder. The report interprets the cell populations and marker pattern in the clinical context; it is not the laboratory work that processes and analyzes the specimen.

Select this code according to the number of markers included in the interpretation: 9–15. The record should support the specimen examined, markers assessed, findings, and resulting interpretation. Report the professional service separately from the applicable technical flow cytometry services; the technical portion is covered by separate codes. This code represents interpretation and reporting only.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
