Can you bill for the second ABO/Rh if fulfilling the requirement for using the computer crossmatch per AABB standards? I have searched the Reimbursement guide, but cannot find a reference.

We use the under-the-counter models, (Helmer makes one) and mount them on wheels for portability. We use them for trauma response, blood in OR, etc. We have 6 of them, and store them in the Transfusion Service. They get issued with the products for one patient only. The chart recorders can be added. The TS maintains and QCs each of them.

Does anyone out there have experience with the TANGO in Transfusion Service testing situations? If so, what LIS is it interfaced with. Thanks
