genetic testing on product of conception
A patient came to our office with a tissue speciman that is most likely products of conception. The patient wants the tissue to be sent to a lab for "genetic testing". What codes would I use for this? I have never encountered this request before.

Tough One
The only thing I could come up with on this particular scenario would be V82.79 (other genetic screening). Since this was requested by the patient and isn't really being referred by a doctor I have a feeling the insurance will not be covering anyway. Best of luck on this case.
