ISH Initial, Tech Only
Use
This test is utilized for billing purposes only, and it is not directly orderable by clients. It is primarily set up for situations where initial in situ hybridization (ISH) analysis techniques are billed separately from other processes such as interpretation and consultation. The focus is on technical charges related to the initial steps of ISH, where the preparation and preliminary technical analysis of specimens occur. This is aimed at clients who require separate billing for technical services in situations where ISH procedures are implemented.

Limitations
This test code is categorized solely for the billing of technical components associated with initial in situ hybridization procedures. It does not cover interpretation of results or any consultative services. Users should note that this test is non-orderable on its own and must be associated with broader ISH procedures if interpretation or further analytical services are required. Consequently, there is no utility for diagnostic or clinical decision-making beyond understanding billing categories.
