[Histonet] NY State regulations

[Pratt, Caroline]

Just a CLIA reg, but you are correct microtomy, embedding and routine stains are only Moderate Complexity testing.

I believe grossing of small biopsies and  performing ihc are both considered high complex testing. You must fulfill the clia personnel requirements of high complex testing.

I also believe a histotech who only cuts and performs routine stains is not considered highly complex. I'm not sure why? Anyone know?

I have been a Histotech and have worked in IHC for 20+ years and was required to obtain a NY State Clinical Lab License in 2007. I don't have and associates or bachelor degree and was not required to prior to 2007. I was told on a job interview that if I don't have either of these degrees that I cannot gross any specimens or run IHC. I've never heard this before. Has anyone else ever heard of this??? Thanks - Gail
