That is what we do too, whether the request comes from the PCP or the patient, they are billed.

I was asked by my Director about any cases that are send out for a second opinion and do you bill the patient for them.



I feel that if one of our pathologist send a case out, we don't bill, however if the request comes from the PCP you should.



So that is  the question  he asked what do other facilities do?
