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.
