[Histonet] RE: Charges for recuts on legal cases

Wed Dec 18 10:36:49 CST 2013

We charge a 24 processing fee, and about 10.50 per he or unstained slide.  We also offer special stains for slightly higher fee.  If we can't do recuts, we offer whole slide scans for about 23 per slide.  If they want documents, it is 1.09 per page the first 30 pgs and lesser fee per pg thereafter.  Pathologist review to approve recuts is 30.  We charge 11 for shipping if they don't provide fedex acct.

WA has statutes and regs capping the amount on what can be charged for documents.  Nothing re slides.

I charge about the same as Wanda for legal cases, including an administrative fee to search the case first, sometimes I have the legal firm pay up front prior to sending any slides. I do offer additional slides at $10.00 each

I charge a $30.00 fee for investigating the case and issuing a report.  I offer 1 H&E and 2 unstained sections on plus slides and charge an additional $15.00 per slide.  They furnish the shipping/FedEx.

Can anyone share with me what they charge for doing recuts on cases that have been pulled for legal purposes?   I am trying to see what others charge before we assign a charge.
I think most people are probably charging by the slide but please let me know if you charge differently.

Thanks
