Division 2.5—Group P5: tissue pathology
2.5.1 Restrictions on items—services performed using material submitted for a Group P6 service
An item in Group P5 (other than items 72858 and 72859) does not apply to a service performed using material submitted for a test in Group P6, including if a cell block is prepared from the material.
2.5.2 Restrictions on items—certain biopsy examinations performed in a single patient episode
If more than one of the services described in items 72813, 72816, 72817, 72818, 72823, 72824, 72825, 72826, 72827, 72828, 72830, 72836 and 72838 are performed in a single patient episode, only the item with the highest specified fee for a service performed in the episode applies.
2.5.3 Restrictions on items—certain histopathological examinations performed on specimens from a single patient episode
If more than one histopathological examination is performed on separate specimens, of different complexity levels, from a single patient episode, only the item with the highest specified fee for any of the examinations performed applies.
2.5.4 Restriction on items—certain services in Groups P5 and P6 performed in a single patient episode
If more than one of the services described in items 72846, 72847, 72848, 72849, 72850, 73059, 73060, 73061, 73064 and 73065 are performed in a single patient episode, only the item with the highest specified fee for a service performed in the episode applies.
Note: Items 73059, 73060, 73061, 73064 and 73065 are in Group P6.
2.5.5 Restrictions on items 72858 and 72859
(1) Items 72858 and 72859 apply:
(a) only to a service that is covered by:
(i) item 65084 or 65087; or
(ii) item 72813, 72816, 72817, 72818, 72823, 72824, 72825, 72826, 72827, 72828, 72830, 72836 or 72838; or
(iii) an item in Group P6 (other than item 73070, 73071, 73072, 73074, 73075 or 73076); and
(b) only if the treating practitioner and the approved pathology practitioner who provided the original opinion on the patient specimen agree that a second opinion is reasonably necessary for diagnostic purposes.
(2) Items 72858 and 72859 do not apply if the accredited pathology laboratory in which the second opinion is provided is the same laboratory in which the original opinion was provided.
2.5.5A Application of item 72860
Item 72860 applies to a service (the relevant service) for a patient if:
(a) the relevant service is subsequent to one or more earlier patient episodes involving:
(i) the rendering of services to which one or more items in Groups P5, P6 or P7 apply (other than item 72860); and
(ii) the collection of tissue material (either biopsy material or samples submitted for cytology) from which a tissue block was prepared; and
(iii) the archiving of the tissue material in formalin fixed paraffin embedded blocks; and
(b) following the earlier patient episode or episodes, the treating practitioner determines that a service to which an item in Group P7 (which deal with genetic testing) applies is clinically necessary for the patient; and
(c) the relevant service is rendered in a patient episode with services to which one or more items in Group P7 apply, but is not rendered in the same accredited pathology laboratory as those services.
2.5.6 Items in Group P5
This clause sets out items in Group P5.
Note: The fees in Group P5 are indexed in accordance with clause 2.14.1.

Division 2.7—Group P7: genetics
2.7.1A Restriction on item 73287—conjunction with item 73388
Item 73287 applies to a service described in that item only if the service is not performed in conjunction with a service described in item 73388.
2.7.1B Restriction on item 73290—conjunction with item 73391
Item 73290 applies to a service described in that item only if the service is not performed in conjunction with a service described in item 73391.
2.7.1 Restriction on items 73320 and 73321 (HLA‑B27 detection)—services rendered as pathologist‑determinable services
If a service described in item 73320 or 73321 is rendered as a pathologist‑determinable service, the item does not apply to the service unless the recognised pathologist who renders the service records, in writing:
(a) the reasons for rendering the service; and
(b) the result of the service described in item 71147.
2.7.2 Restriction on items 73339 and 73340 (relating to RET gene mutations)
For any particular patient, items 73339 and 73340 are applicable only once (in total for both items).
2.7.3 Restriction on items 73345 to 73350 (relating to cystic fibrosis)—testing methodology
A service described in any of items 73345 to 73350 applies to a patient only if the laboratory in which the service is rendered uses a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator methodology that:
(a) has sufficient diagnostic range and sensitivity to detect at least 95% of pathogenic cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator variants likely to be present in the patient; and
(b) includes at least 25 of the most frequently encountered cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator variants in the Australian population.
2.7.3A Items 73384 to 73387 (relating to pre‑implantation genetic testing)—patient eligibility
A patient is eligible for a service described in any of items 73384 to 73387 only if:
(a) the patient or the patient’s reproductive partner:
(i) has an identified gene variant which places the patient at risk of having a pregnancy affected by a Mendelian or mitochondrial disorder; or
(ii) is at risk of an autosomal dominant disorder which places the patient at risk of having a child who develops the autosomal dominant disorder; or
(iii) has a chromosome re‑arrangement or copy number variant which places the patient at risk of having a pregnancy affected by a chromosome disorder; and
(b) there is no curative treatment for the disorder and there is severe limitation of quality of life despite contemporary management of the disorder; and
(c) the patient has previously had a consultation, with a specialist or consultant physician practising as a clinical geneticist, that included a discussion about the disorder.
