[Histonet] RE: IHC charges

[Weems, Joyce K.]

You can only charge the patient as you describe, but I would think the reference lab would charge per their contract with you.

Subject: [Histonet] IHC charges

Good Morning all..

We stopped doing IHC's some time ago and we send them out to a reference lab. If we send 4 blocks from 1 specimen, let's say part "A" and 2 blocks from specimen

"B", from what I know, we can only charge for 1 block from each specimen per antibody.  My question is this...  Can the reference lab charge us for all 6 blocks??

Thanks in advance for your help!
