Dr performed Mohs on a pt. Obviously to bill for Mohs the doctor needs to act both as the surgeon and the pathologist.
Here is what happened....
Stage 1 - Specimen was prepared in office, microscopic exam revealed atypical basaloid proliferation. THEN I have a note here that states "The lesion is more consistent with <insert random thing here>, will send to Outside Path Lab"
Stage 2- Specimen was prepared in office, he worked as the pathologist here and notes that the margins are clear of tumor.
So it looks like he worked as the surgeon and pathologist...but also sent it out.
I have an outside lab report for this as well. So I know he really sent it out. What in the world do I do for this situation? He did this twice last week and he's never done this before.
