[Histonet] consult requests

[Noelle Linke]

Hi all,

Question for anyone who may handle admin staff:   If a patient or an outside hospital/doctor requests a consult and you need to fedex slides/reports to another institution do you charge the patient to send these items or does your facility eat those charges?

Thank you,
Noëlle
