[Histonet] RE: Gastro prices

[D'Attilio, Shelley]

Hi all,
Lin asked about charges for H&E slides, unstained slides, etc. for gastric biopsy.  Lin, I just want to caution you about asking for this information on an open forum such as this.  I'm not up on all the legal issues, but I think you want to avoid any suspicion of price fixing.  

A source of information might be the reference lab with whom you already do busines.  And of course, take into consideration the amount of reimbursement for the test.

Thanks,
