How about pulling blocks and cutting blank slides for an attorney who
does not represent our hospital? We don't have to do this very much but
it does come up.
Thanks

It is my understanding that it used for examaination and selection of
retrieved archival (ie,previously diagnosed) tissue for molecular
analysis (eg, KRAS mutational analysis).

Is anyone using the above CPT code for reviewing "old" pathology slides
prior to ordering IHC testing or can it only be used for slide review
prior to ordering molecular testing? Thanks.
