It is too long to type and can be found in the April 7th, AAPA e-news Today or it is ANP.11610 Phase II CAP regualtions/Exceptions Grandfathered at 42CFR493.1489 and 1491. These are the exact regulations and should anwser all questions about who can and a cannot gross. Sorry I just don't have it in way to send easily. I contacted the AAPA and got the info.

I went to the American Association of Pathology Assistants web site and then called them. I got the most help for the question of who can and who can not gross from them. It will not be state specific so if you think your state has other more complex rules you will need to check there. The rule I have now are what CAP will look for and that is what I am working toward. CAP is who will grade us - not the state overall.

Subject: Re: [Histonet] Re: Grossing Technician Qualifications
There has been a lot of confusion about this. From my understanding the
real definition of who can gross falls under the "High Complexity" testing
category. This would be different for different states I think as well.
Let me give an example.
In the State of Florida pervious technicians may have been trained to
Gross large specimens( or biopsies ). With this new law a technician in
the state of Florida would not be able to continue to gross because in
actuality they never held a license that allowed them to perform "High
Complexity" testing. So they are not grandfathered in because of that
clause. Technologist would, because they have always been able to preform
"High Complexity" testing.
I also think that which ever laws your state goes by for people who can
perform "High Complexity" testing is your answer.
I hope this helps.

Well, I'm giving a talk on the subject to the Tennessee Society for
Histotechnology meeting in Chattanooga, and I'm pretty confused about
the question of who's allowed to gross - the rules seem to be
changing, and different certifying organizations have different
requirements. If somebody can spell out in detail who it is that's
requiring what, I'd appreciate it.
