Question on the cost of 2 skin biopsies and an immunostain
A friend of mine got a bill for the pathology charges on two skin biopsies she had recently. Seemed pretty high to me, $439 total ($272 for the two 88305 and $167 for a 88342). Does this seem high? I don’t do billing and I’m in academics so don’t see my collections but from looking online seems like Medicare rates would put the total for what she had around $250. She’s essentially self pay. I said she may want to call and see if they’d take the Medicare rate - would this be crazy?
