Hi colleagues:I have just received the sad news that the prestigious Russian 
histopathologist Prof. Alexander Matsionis passed away (see included 
message).Although his name is almost unknown in our field he always was 
extremely enthusiast about new histopathology procedures and helped introducing 
isopropanol tissue processing in scores of Russian labs.My thoughts to his 
family, colleagues and friends.René

appreciated your help and support.
In our memory and hearts he will stay forever.

[Histonet] EBUS/EUS Pathology Billing

[Amanda Reichard via Histonet]

Happy Friday Everyone!

I have a question for those of you who send a tech or a cytotechnologist to 
assist the pathologist with EBUS/EUS procedures...

What CPT codes are you using when billing?  Are you billing a technical 
component for the staining of the slides during the procedure? (We use Diff 
Quik) Do you just bill the professional component?

Thanks for any help with this!

Re: [Histonet] Laboratory Developed Test LDT process example for antibodies, specifically P16

[Morken, Timothy via Histonet]

Do you mean the list required by COM.40200, or a validation procedure?

The list is just a list of those test you have modified from manufacturer's 
instructions, or developed in-house from ASR's (any IHC test you do in which 
you modify dilutions, detection, AR etc).

For validation, The FDA LDT rule is not final yet (at least was not at NSH in 
September when we had a workshop on the topic). I suppose CAP could require 
additional validation beyond what CLIA already outlines (and is outlined in the 
COM items after 40200). CAP currently has a recommendations for ER, PR  and 
Her2:  in the range of 25-50 negative, 25-50 positive with a range of positive 
from weak to strong. Statistically concordant compared to known antibody 
results.

If FDA goes through with their proposal you can expect much more extensive 
validation (vendors run hundreds to thousands of cases to meet FDA validation 
requirements).

P16 antibody is soon to move from an FDA approved IVD to a LDT. I have not 
performed a LDT before. I read COM.4020. Would someone be willing to share one 
of their LDT workups for an antibody that meets CAP requirements? I want to 
make sure I am on the right track and do not miss anything.
