[Histonet] Billing 88342

[Victor A. Tobias]

Looking for other opinions from those who do consult/referral work.

If a client sends in a request for a single antibody done on multiple blocks on a single specimen, do you bill the client for each tech component
? The client will do the interpretation.

What happens in the above scenario if the request is to bill the patient? Knowing you get reimbursed for one, do you eat the other charges are make the client select the one block?

We have run numbers on potential lost revenue and the number is significant.
