| Procedure | Volume | Avg. paid | Avg. submitted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tissue pathology examination, moderate complexity A laboratory test where a pathologist examines tissue samples under a microscope to analyze cellular details. This intermediate complexity procedure involves specialized techniques to identify abnormalities in the tissue. |
633 | $32 | $93 |
| Tissue staining for diagnosis, additional An extra laboratory procedure to apply special stains to tissue slides for detailed examination. |
497 | $25 | $75 |
| Additional manual multiplex genetic stain A microscopic genetic analysis performed manually using an additional multiplex stain procedure on tissue. |
386 | $54 | $131 |
| Special tissue stain and interpretation A laboratory test using special stains to examine tissue samples, including the pathologist's review and written report of the findings. |
289 | $14 | $28 |
| Flow cytometry, additional marker An additional marker is tested during a flow cytometry procedure to analyze DNA or cells. This step adds specific data points to the initial analysis. |
281 | $18 | $90 |
| Flow cytometry, 16 or more markers A laboratory test that uses lasers to analyze cells or DNA using 16 or more different markers. This technique helps identify and characterize specific cell types based on their physical and chemical properties. |
210 | $65 | $190 |
| Manual microscopic genetic analysis of tumor A laboratory test that uses a microscope to manually examine tumor tissue for genetic changes. |
180 | $36 | $99 |
| Tissue staining for diagnosis, initial A laboratory test where special stains are applied to tissue slides to help examine the cells and identify specific characteristics. |
142 | $32 | $100 |
| Tissue preparation to remove calcium A laboratory procedure that removes calcium from a tissue sample to prepare it for microscopic examination. |
124 | $10 | $22 |
| Bone marrow smear interpretation A laboratory review of a bone marrow sample slide to examine cell structure and identify abnormalities. |
113 | $41 | $129 |
| Genetic sequencing localization, initial procedure This procedure involves the initial process of localizing genetic sequencing. It identifies the specific location of genetic material for further analysis. |
76 | $33 | $102 |
| Additional genetic sequencing localization This procedure involves additional genetic sequencing localization work beyond the initial test. It is performed to further analyze genetic material. |
75 | $26 | $102 |
| Moderately high complexity pathology tissue examination A laboratory test where a pathologist examines tissue samples under a microscope to analyze cellular details. This specific level of complexity involves a moderate to high degree of technical skill and interpretation. |
59 | $63 | $155 |
| Digital slide scanning for surgical pathology This procedure involves digitizing glass microscope slides to create digital images for level IV surgical pathology analysis. |
41 | $0 | $13 |
| Genetic analysis of archival tissue Testing stored tissue samples to identify genetic information. This procedure analyzes existing tissue specimens for genetic markers. |
35 | $18 | $55 |
| Cell examination with selective cellular enhancement A laboratory test that examines cells from a specimen using a technique to selectively enhance specific cellular features for detailed analysis. |
31 | $20 | $103 |
| Pathology tissue examination, moderate complexity A laboratory test where a pathologist examines tissue samples under a microscope to identify abnormalities. This specific level indicates a moderate degree of complexity in the analysis. |
22 | $9 | $46 |
| Intraoperative pathology examination, first tissue block A pathologist examines a tissue sample removed during surgery to provide a preliminary diagnosis. This test is performed on the first tissue block obtained from the procedure. |
21 | $47 | $112 |
| Blood smear interpretation with written report A physician examines a blood sample slide under a microscope to analyze blood cells. The doctor provides a written report of their findings. |
17 | $19 | $40 |
| High complexity pathology tissue examination A laboratory test where a pathologist examines tissue samples under a microscope using advanced techniques to analyze cellular details. |
13 | $112 | $250 |
| Flow cytometry DNA or cell analysis, first marker A laboratory test that uses a laser to analyze cells or DNA by detecting a specific marker on the cell surface or within the cell. |
12 | $60 | $145 |
