What 88341 covers

This service covers another single-antibody immunohistochemistry or immunocytochemistry stain on a specimen after its first single-antibody stain. A laboratory applies a distinct antibody, such as a keratin or CD marker, to tissue sections or cytology material. A pathologist interprets the staining to help classify a carcinoma, lymphoma, or other lesion. Hospital pathology departments and independent laboratories perform the staining; the specimen may also have a separately reported surgical pathology examination.

Report one unit for each distinct additional single-antibody stain per specimen, not for each slide or tissue block. Report the initial single-antibody stain on each separately identified specimen with 88342; document the specimen, antibodies tested, and results. Control slides do not generate additional units. As an add-on, 88341 must accompany a primary procedure and is paid within that procedure’s global period. Modifier 26 identifies the pathologist’s interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the laboratory’s staining, reagents, and staff work when components are billed separately. Billing without either modifier identifies the global service.

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.

88341 billing questions

How do I split units between 88342 and 88341 when several specimens are stained?

Report 88342 for the initial single-antibody stain on each separately identified specimen. Report one unit of 88341 for each distinct additional single-antibody stain on that specimen, not for another slide or block stained with the same antibody.

Can 88341 be billed without a primary procedure?

No. It is an add-on code; report it with 88342 for the initial single-antibody stain on the same specimen.

When is a stain reported with 88344 rather than 88341?

Use 88344 for a multiplex stain procedure that produces distinguishable results from multiple antibodies. Use 88341 for an additional, separate single-antibody stain on the specimen.

Can 88341 be reported for the same antibody quantified with 88360 or 88361?

No. Do not also report a qualitative immunostain code for the same antibody on the same specimen when its morphometric analysis is reported with 88360 or 88361.

Which modifier identifies the pathologist’s interpretation when another entity stains the slides?

Report the separately billed interpretation with modifier 26; modifier TC identifies the separately billed technical work. When one entity bills both components, report the global service without either modifier.

Do control slides count as additional units?

No. Positive and negative control slides do not generate additional units of 88341.

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.
