We currently place 3 ribbons of 5-6 sections, at each of three levels, 'down'
the slide. This may be too many sections for the pathologists' needs. A
suggestion for us going forward would be as Lacy Normington suggests - one or
two sections at three or four levels, also, placing these short
If the request is received more than "30" days from the original
date-of-service, we re-accession the specimen, and bill and report the test
result(s) under the new accession number. The requesting MD now becomes the
submitting MD.

Someone told me that you could not use eosin on the new Peloris II. Many of
us use eosin to color small biopsies during the process run. We have it in one

At our institution, if the request is received more than "30" days from the
collect date, we create a new HOV for the patient. That way the addendum is
still on the same case number. The collect date is changed by our LIS
department to be the "request to pull from archive" based on Medicare
Hi All,
We are wondering how many levels most hospitals are cutting on GI biopsies? We
currently cut 3 levels, thinking that is the standard of care. Please let us
know how many are done at other hospitals.
Thanks for your help!

Hi all,
We have been getting a lot of requests for tests such as Lynch syndrome on old
hospital cases. How do all of you handle the billing on these? Do you ask the
clinician to send updated insurance information and then log in a new case?
Thank you,
