Re: [Histonet] B-gal positive control

Anna, Don't know if you are talking human or non-human control or if makes a difference and I don't want to get into that whole discussion again. But if a mouse control is OK, one of the cleanest and nicest systems I used  for B-gal was to get a transgenic mouse, easily obtainable with a

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

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

Re: [Histonet] Billing question

From my understanding its just one charge. Its per specimen such as A, B, C, etc. Someone else said that it would be 2 charges so am I wrong on this?? If you did GMS on A1 and AFB on A2 then that would be 2 charges because its two different stains. Tasha Campbell, B.S.,HTL(ASCP)

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

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.

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

I've never seen that many on one case. The most I've seen is ~30 (parathyroid) and its been many years. What types of specimens are they? Stacy -Original Message- From: Michael Mihalik [mailto:m...@pathview.com] Sent: Friday, May 08, 2015 12:41 PM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu

Re: [Histonet] Billing question

This is incorrect. The response from Joyce Weems is correct. And yes, it's confusing to everyone. Special stains are billed per block IHC is billed per specimen So a GMS on blocks A1 and A2 is GMS charge x 2 If you are not charging special stains per block you are losing revenue you are

Re: [Histonet] Billing question

Special stains are charged per block. If you have blocks A1, A2, and A3, and do AFB and GMS on all three that would be 6 charges. Sh... this will probably change next year!! Joyce Weems Pathology Manager 678-843-7376 Phone 678-843-7831 Fax joyce.we...@emoryhealthcare.org

Re: [Histonet] Bleach as Cleaning Agent or Decontamination-
