As with most clinical tests, start with the CPT code for flow cytometry. That is how money is ultimately collected. There are a wide variety of specific tests which can be performed using these codes...however that is a quite lengthy list. If you are unfamiliar with clinical flow cytometry, you will find information in some good textbooks, including "Flow Cytometry in Clinical Diagnosis" edited by DF Keren.

We are in the process of establishing an assay reference guide for our clinical laboratory and would like to capture the functional name, technical name and methodology for flow cytometry testing. I would like to know if there are any national or international guidelines we could follow. Carla
