	I know this isn't really histology related but I need expert help.  We
started performing the Digene HPV Hybrid Capture2 along with their GC/CT
testing.
We also perform these tests using Cytyc's Thinprep and Tripath Imaging
Surepath vials.  I know the FDA approved the Digene testing off the Thinprep
vial, but when it comes to the Surepath, can we bill Medicaid and Medicare
for these tests performed on Surepath?  As Always, thanks for your input.
