[Lester Raff MD]

Same for us as Bonnie describes. And we send out A LOT of second opinion
requests since that is close to becoming standard of care in prostate
cancer.

In our institution, we (pathology) pay for anything requested by someone
in our department.  We provide billing information, along with the
slides, when we send out a consult requested by anyone else. 
Thanks,
Bonnie

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?
