Hello,

Is routine histology considered moderate or high complexity by CAP?  It looks like CLIA doesn't even assign a complexity rating as far as I can tell.  I know grossing is considered high complexity but what about routine processing, embedding, cutting, and special/IHC/ISH staining?  I've had a CAP inspector say histotechs are moderate, but a QA manager felt they were high complexity.

Thanks

James
