[Histonet] Pathology Billing

[Burnette, Andrew - MHA]

Hi all - I seem to recall that a hospital may chose the option of globally
billing for path services and paying the pathologists from proceeds rather
than billing just part A and leaving the pathologists to bill part B. My
question is, may a hospital choose to separate professional and technical
component billing for hospital inpatient and outpatients while globally
billing outreach patients? I have a faint recollection that under one CLIA
number an institution may not carve out certain patients in this way, but I
can't find an official reference. Thanks in advance!  Andy Burnette, St.
