each polyp's specimen was separately identified and processed: First tissue block: 3 frozen sections Second tissue block: 1 frozen section Then for specimen 2: First tissue block: 2 frozen sections Second tissue block: 2 frozen sections CPT codes: 88331: Surgical pathology, gross and microscopic examination 88332: Surgical pathology, gross and microscopic examination, each additional block Reported with multipliers for number of specimens and frozen sections: Options: a) 88331, 88332 (too generic, no multipliers) b) 88331x4, 88332x3 (4 first tissue blocks total, 3 additional blocks) c) 88331x3, 88332x2 (3 first tissue blocks, 2 additional blocks) d) 88331x2, 88332x2 (2 first tissue blocks, 2 additional blocks) Counting numbers: Specimen 1: First tissue block: 3 frozen sections (count as 3 for 88331) Second tissue block: 1 frozen section (count as 1 for 88331) Specimen 2: First tissue block: 2 frozen sections (count 2 for 88331) Second tissue block: 2 frozen sections (count 2 for 88331) Total first tissue blocks (88331): 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 8 (But these seem to be frozen sections, not necessarily number of blocks, usually 88331 is per specimen not per frozen section)
