Proper billing of CPT code 88305

August 31, 2012

Providers are incorrectly coding claims when billing for multiple specimens of CPT code 88305. Multiple specimens for the same date of service, billed on the same claim, should be submitted on one detail line by adjusting the ìnumber billed fieldî to reflect the number of specimens. Billing these services on separate details is inappropriate. First Coast Options: MAC for Jurisdiction 9, which includes Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Florida
