Laboratory pathology

About 88182: Limited cell marker study

Reports a limited cell-marker analysis, such as DNA ploidy, cell-cycle analysis, or immunocytochemistry, on a specimen submitted for diagnostic evaluation.

This service covers a limited analysis of cells using markers or related measurements, including DNA ploidy, cell-cycle analysis, or immunocytochemistry. It is performed in a pathology or cytology laboratory, with laboratory staff and equipment supporting the technical work and a pathologist or other qualified professional interpreting the findings. It may be used to characterize tumor cells or other diagnostically relevant cells in a submitted specimen.

Report the service for each specimen that receives the limited study, rather than counting individual markers as separate units. Documentation should identify the specimen, the type and purpose of the analysis, and the resulting interpretation. CMS recognizes separate professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff portion, and reporting without either modifier represents the global service. The professional and technical components are separately priced when billed with their respective modifiers.

CMS billing rules for 88182

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.

88182 billing questions

When should 88182 be chosen instead of a flow cytometry code?

Use 88182 for a limited cell-marker study such as DNA ploidy, cell-cycle analysis, or immunocytochemistry. Flow cytometry procedures are reported with codes specific to their technical marker work and interpretation.

How many units should be reported?

Report one unit for each specimen receiving the limited study. Do not use the number of markers as the unit count.

Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?

Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical work. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

What documentation supports 88182?

Document the specimen, the limited study performed, its diagnostic purpose, and the interpretation. The record should make clear that the work was a limited cell-marker analysis rather than flow cytometry marker testing.

Is 88182 reported once per marker?

No. For this code, the unit is the specimen receiving the limited analysis, not each marker assessed.

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.
