What 88366 covers
A pathologist evaluates in situ hybridization findings, including fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) signals in tissue or cytology specimens, and prepares a diagnostic interpretation and report. Oncology specimens may be assessed for gene or chromosome changes relevant to tumor classification or treatment decisions. The report connects the probe findings with the specimen and clinical question; this service is distinct from performing the probe-staining procedure itself.
Report 88366 for the interpretation and report associated with an in situ hybridization study, supported by documentation identifying the specimen, test findings, and diagnostic conclusion. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, modifier TC identifies the technical service, and billing without either modifier represents the global service. The professional component reflects the physician’s interpretation; the technical component covers equipment and staff involved in the test.
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.

88366 billing questions
How does 88366 differ from the probe-staining codes?
88366 represents interpretation and reporting of in situ hybridization findings. Codes such as 88364 and 88367 describe probe-staining procedures, including whether the procedure is automated.
Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?
Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation and modifier TC identifies the technical service. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
What documentation supports 88366?
The record should identify the specimen and in situ hybridization findings and include the diagnostic interpretation and report. The report should make clear the clinical conclusion drawn from the probe results.
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.
