[Histonet] SURVEY

Two questions for "O ye wise ones"
 
1.  Do you all, especially hospitals, match technical CPT billing codes
with  your pathologist's professional billing codes? And
     if so, how do you do this?  Who does this?  Do your pathologists?
Is it done before or after diagnosis? How do you meet the
     hospital billing window?
 
 

 2. When your pathologist is paid to perform autopsies by the hospital,
does the fee include lab testing or does the hospital 

     pay additional monies to  the  pathologist to cover cost of
immunos, special stains, cultutes, drug screens, etc.?  

 

As always, thanks for your help. j:>)
