dermatology

What is the proper way to bill for a frozen section during the appt when the specimen is obtained. Dr. is interested in starting to do mohs surgery and I need assistance in billing these out. Is there a difference in billing if the frozen section is not diagnosed in office and is sent to a local pathology dept for testing.

Are you doing Mohs?

The surgical pathology codes 88300-88309 and 88331-88332 and 88342
are part of the Mohs surgery and are bundled into 17311-17315.
