Hi AC! Ah ok – dental coding is not our forte here like medical coding is, but hopefully this information is helpful: 88342 is a medical CPT code, which stands for: Immunohistochemistry or immunocytochemistry, per specimen; initial single antibody stain procedure And here are some coding options from the oral pathology section of dental codes that may be applicable: D0472 – accession of tissue, gross examination, preparation and transmission of written report D0473 – accession of tissue, gross and microscopic examination, preparation and transmission of written report D0474 – accession of tissue, gross and microscopic examination, including assessment of surgical margins for presence of disease, preparation and transmission of written report D0476 – special stains for microorganisms D0477 – special stains, not for microorganisms D0478 – immunohistochemical stains D0482 – direct immunofluorescence D0483 – indirect immunofluorescence D0502 – other oral pathology procedures, by report Hope this helps!
