New ICD 10 Codes for Pathology Billing - Is your Practice Ready
                     New ICD 10 Codes for Pathology Billing - 
Is your Practice Ready?
Your practice has until October 1, 2022, to begin reporting the new 2023 
ICD-10-CM codes — and with over 1,000 new diagnosis codes added to 
your available options, you'll want to make the most of that time. CPT 
codes, as you are aware, answer the question "what happened?" when 
you see a patient. On the contrary, ICD-10-CM codes denote the "why?" 
which is the most important way you can prove medical necessity for the 
services your practice provides. Furthermore, if you do not demonstrate 
medical necessity, you will be denied reimbursement and lose money. 
Let’s know about New ICD 10 Codes for Pathology Billing.

Updates to the 2023 Physician Fee 
Schedule
On July 7, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 
released its proposed 2023 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. For 
2023, there are 331 new codes and 64 deleted codes, for a total of 
78,496 ICD-10-PCS codes. Medical billing and coding service providers 
must become acquainted with these changes, which will affect 
reimbursement for inpatient facilities such as skilled nursing facilities, 
acute and long-term care hospitals, and home health care services.
The goal of these changes is to ensure that payments for the technical 
component of pathology are more accurate next year. They will also 
reduce pathology payments by about 1% between 2022 and 2023. To 
account for the expiration of the 3% fee increase for 2022, the 
conversion factor will be reduced by 4.4%.

New Category 3 (temporary) Codes in 
Digital Pathology (Effective 2023)
Beginning January 1, 2023, the College of American Pathologists (CAP) 
has announced thirteen (13) new digital pathology Category III CPT 
codes. Clinical staff work associated with digitizing glass slides for the 
primary diagnosis will be defined by codes 0751T through 0763T as per 
CAP.
The goal of digitizing glass microscope slides is to enable remote 
examination by pathologists and/or the use of artificial intelligence (AI) 
algorithms. When the digitization procedure of glass microscope slides is 
performed and reported in conjunction with the Category I code for the 
primary service, Category III add-on codes 0751T-0763T may be 
reported along with the appropriate Category I service code.
Do not report Category III codes in this subsection for archival purposes 
(e.g., after the Category I service has already been performed and 
reported), educational purposes (e.g., when services are not used for 
individual patient reporting), developing a database for training or 
validation of AI algorithms, or clinical conference presentations (e.g., 
tumor board interdisciplinary conferences).
