[Histonet] Slides sent out for outside consult.

[Vanessa Avalos]

Our practice does not bill the patient. Before sending they sign a waiver
giving us permission to send out. On this waiver it states that if this is
something their insurance does not cover then they may revieve a bill for
$-$ range. We have an agreement with our consulting lab that they will only
accept what the individual insurance covers. Our patients were getting
ridiculous bills for consulting and our office was getting angry phone
calls. After talking to the lab they made this agreement.

How is everyone handling a case that you send out to an outside
consultant as far as billing the patient for the consult. Right now if I
send out a case they bill me back an 88321. I am being told that I can
not pass this same 88321 on to the patient. Having the outside
consultant do the billing is not an option.
 
Thanks, 
Mike
