Testing Algorithm

For the initial technical component only in situ hybridization (ISH) stain performed, the appropriate bill only test ID will be reflexed and charged (ISTOI). For each additional technical component only ISH stain performed, an additional bill only test ID will be reflexed and charged (ISTOA).
