I too have started looking into this. One of our pathologists found an article in a book. I will give you the reference tomorrow after I get to work.

Thanks again Charlie.  I wonder how many labs are not billing when the cytotech does the immediate read for fear of being audited and fined for overcharging.  I know, for example, that ASC states that it is perfectly reasonable to bill for the cytotech doing the adequacy assessment.  CAP and the AMA (which is the guidance most coders look to) say that 88172 is a pathologist only code and that it is not proper to bill for the cytotech providing that service.
