[Histonet] Is there a Law for refusal of pathology services.

[White, Lisa M.]

I would think the patient would have to sign an Against Medical Advise
release just as if they were leaving the ER even though you know they
were having a heart attack. 

 

Should the reason for refusal to have the specimen processed is they do
not have insurance and you do a gross only then they will still be
charged for a gross only specimen.
