THE HARD PARTS

What makes dermatopathology billing hard

Many specimens per patient

A single visit can produce several biopsies, and each separately submitted specimen is billed on its own line.

Special stains add up

Stains are billed per stain and per specimen, and each must be documented as medically needed.

Dermatologists need fast answers

Treatment decisions wait on the report, so results must reach the ordering chart quickly.

WHERE THE WORK HAPPENS

How dermatopathology care is delivered and billed

Dermatopathologists work in independent labs, dermatology practices and hospitals. Biopsies are billed per specimen as professional, technical or global services depending on who prepared and read the slides.

What payers check on dermatopathology claims

Surgical pathology is billed per specimen.
Special stains are billed per stain per specimen when documented as needed.
Professional and technical parts are billed separately when split.
The final diagnosis from the report is coded, not the clinical impression.
Laboratories may bill only for tests their certification covers.

Common dermatopathology diagnoses ICD-10-CM

D48.5	Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of skin
C43.59	Malignant melanoma of other part of trunk
C44.92	Squamous cell carcinoma of skin, unspecified
L57.0	Actinic keratosis
D22.5	Melanocytic nevi of trunk
L82.1	Other seborrheic keratosis

Examples only. The provider chooses the code that matches the documented diagnosis, and XEHR checks it against the note and the payer's rules before the claim goes out.
