[Histonet] RE: Billing for Research Only Antibodies

[Patricia Karlisch]

Hi Histonetters:
    How do you handle antibodies that are not yet IVD and are still
RUO.   I understand the disclaimer on the reports but does that make the
test billable?  Do any of you charge for the IHC stain clinically.  We
have 3 IHC stains that are RUO, one of which is SV40T.  We are not
billing for this test, but we do more than 200/year.  Thanks in
advance,
   Pat Karlisch
