For FQHC services with dates of service on or after April 1, 2010, bill type 77X should be used to report flow cytometry services.

Key Coverage Criteria

Flow cytometry is covered to detect antigens used as therapeutic targets in neoplastic disease.
Flow cytometry is covered for diagnosis and classification of hematopoietic neoplasms.
Flow cytometry is covered to assess biologic parameters associated with prognosis in hematopoietic neoplasms.
Flow cytometry is covered to detect residual neoplastic cells following therapy (minimal residual disease detection).
Flow cytometry is covered to monitor lymphocyte populations in patients with HIV infection.
