New ICD 10 Codes for Pathology Billing - Is your
Practice Ready?
Your practice has until October 1, 2022, to begin
reporting the new 2023 ICD-10-CM codes and with
over 1,000 new diagnosis codes added to your
available options, you'll want to make the most
of that time. CPT codes, as you are aware, answer
the question "what happened?" when you see a
patient. On the contrary, ICD-10-CM codes denote
the "why?" which is the most important way you
can prove medical necessity for the services your
practice provides. Furthermore, if you do not
demonstrate medical necessity, you will be denied
reimbursement and lose money. Lets know about

Updates to the 2023 Physician Fee Schedule
On July 7, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) released its proposed 2023
Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. For 2023, there
are 331 new codes and 64 deleted codes, for a
total of 78,496 ICD-10-PCS codes. Medical billing
and coding service providers must become
acquainted with these changes, which will affect
reimbursement for inpatient facilities such as
skilled nursing facilities, acute and long-term
care hospitals, and home health care
services. The goal of these changes is to ensure
that payments for the technical component of
pathology are more accurate next year. They will
also reduce pathology payments by about 1
between 2022 and 2023. To account for the
expiration of the 3 fee increase for 2022, the
conversion factor will be reduced by 4.4.

New Category 3 (temporary) Codes in Digital
Pathology (Effective 2023)
Beginning January 1, 2023, the College of
American Pathologists (CAP) has announced
thirteen (13) new digital pathology Category III
CPT codes. Clinical staff work associated with
digitizing glass slides for the primary diagnosis
will be defined by codes 0751T through 0763T as
per CAP. The goal of digitizing glass microscope
slides is to enable remote examination by
pathologists and/or the use of artificial
intelligence (AI) algorithms. When the
digitization procedure of glass microscope slides
is performed and reported in conjunction with the
Category I code for the primary service, Category
III add-on codes 0751T-0763T may be reported
along with the appropriate Category I service
code. Do not report Category III codes in this
subsection for archival purposes (e.g., after the
Category I service has already been performed and
reported), educational purposes (e.g., when
services are not used for individual patient
reporting), developing a database for training or
validation of AI algorithms, or clinical
conference presentations (e.g., tumor board
interdisciplinary conferences).
