Molecular Cytogenetic Code Changes

Effective August 1, 2015, Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) will allow ten units of the molecular cytogenetics code, CPT 88271, per date of service without prior authorization. CPT code 88271 is utilized to bill each DNA probe used in a procedure such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). If additional units are requested, documentation supporting medical necessity and prior authorization are required.
