Hello, How would a hospital blood bank request reimbursement for pooled platelets that come pre-pooled from the blood provider? (pool of 5) If one were to use HCPCS code P9031 (Platelets, leukocytes reduced, each unit) as articles have suggested, does one bill for each portion of the pool? I've also read that hospital blood banks can bill a CPT code for the pooling even though the blood provider performed the pooling. Is there anyone who is currently billing for these products that can provide some clarity? Thanks in advance
