It is my understanding that if you have a four antibody panel (eg for PNH), you would bill 88184 and 88185 x 3 and certainly CD45 could be one of the antibodies. As previously, one could not bill for CD45 more than once, even if it were in all 8 tubes of a 8 tube, four color panel.

After review of the new codes, we are wondering if a charge for the CD45 used in gating a 4-color panel is allowed? If so, how does one charge it? Could the code 88184-First Marker be used?
