About 88374: Computer-assisted ISH morphometric analysis
Reports computer-assisted quantitative or semiquantitative morphometric analysis of in situ hybridization findings in a tissue specimen.
A pathology laboratory uses image-analysis technology to quantify or semiquantify in situ hybridization signals in a tissue specimen. The analysis supports interpretation of molecular markers visible in cells or tissue, such as gene-copy patterns assessed in a tumor biopsy. A pathologist reviews the findings and incorporates them into the diagnostic workup; the technical work is generally performed by laboratory staff using specialized imaging equipment.
Select this service when the requested work is morphometric analysis of an in situ hybridization assay using computer-assisted technology, rather than manual measurement or tumor immunohistochemistry analysis. The record should identify the specimen, the assay and target, the quantitative or semiquantitative analysis performed, and the resulting interpretation. CMS recognizes separately priced professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment-and-staff portion, and reporting without either modifier represents the global service.
CMS billing rules for 88374
- Professional and technical components
- Diagnostic test with a professional component (modifier 26, interpretation) and a technical component (modifier TC, equipment and staff); billing without a modifier is the global service.

88374 billing questions
How does this differ from manual ISH morphometric analysis?
This code is for quantitative or semiquantitative ISH morphometric analysis performed with computer-assisted technology. Use the manual counterpart when the morphometric analysis is performed manually.
Is this the same as tumor immunohistochemistry analysis?
No. This service analyzes in situ hybridization findings; tumor immunohistochemistry analysis evaluates immunostaining and is reported with the applicable IHC morphometric-analysis code.
Which modifiers identify the components?
Modifier 26 reports the professional interpretation, and modifier TC reports the technical service, including equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
What documentation supports reporting this service?
Document the specimen and ISH assay, the use of computer-assisted quantitative or semiquantitative morphometric analysis, and the pathologist's interpretation of the findings.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
