[Histonet] CHARGING FOR SLIDES TO BE CUT AND SENT OUT FOR LEGAL,MEDICAL PURPOSES

[Nita Searcy]

I have been charging for legal cases for years; other institutions there is no charge---patient carte issue. We have a $60.00 search fee ( transcription & histology expense offset) ; if we recut- $25.00 for each H&E; special stains- $50; immunohistochemistry- $75.00.

We do not charge for recuts or send outs. Our Medical Records department charges $1 per page for reports. Charging is something that we have discussed for many years, though. I am also interested in what other institutions doe. It takes a lot of time for packing and record keeping even if sending originals (for legal cases), not to mention the time to recut and stain and the cost to send them.

Hi All,

I know this question has been asked before.  What is everyone doing about 
cutting and preparing slides and blocks for legal purposes as well as 
requests from other hospitals or patients. Is there any charges and how 
much are the charges?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
