What are the Reimbursement Policies for Histology Services?
CMS provides reimbursement for histology services based on the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS). The reimbursement rates are determined by the Resource-Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS), which considers the complexity of the procedure, the time required, and the resources used. Accurate coding using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes is essential for proper reimbursement.
