[Histonet] Friday Trivia Question: Most specimen on a single case

[Michael Mihalik]

I did ask about specimen/container, but knowing block count is interesting
as well.

Guys, I'm just the LIS vendor and I'm just happy that our LIS can handle
this.   Since it's been asked, I have asked what 'kind' of specimen these
are.

Oh, and as far as billing is concerned, since this is hospital based, I
believe the billing will based upon admitting icd code...

Read the question, it is a 100 containers on one case. Not block count.

Please excuse the trivia query, but we've got a client who somewhat
regularly creates cases with 100+ specimen.  I think the most I have ever
seen is 127.

I'm curious how common this is.  What's the most specimen on a single case
you've ever seen?

Thanks for your patience and experience.
