Trying to wrap my head around billing stuff. Is there a maximum number of IHC stains that can be billed for a given specimen (I heard a rumor that there is... but can't find proof for that claim)?
Does it vary by the type of patient insurance? I found this document which suggests that 12 stains is the magic number that can be routinely approved by insurance companies, and any in excess of that would be flagged for review, but it seems like there is no clear-cut rules from what I can tell.
