Good Afternoon to All, At our hospital, for hospital inpatients and outpatients the Pathologist bill for their professional fee and the hospital bills the patients for the technical component. For non-patient specimens (patients seen at other offices and facilities), the Pathologist bills the patient globally for both tech and pro fee and pays the hospital for the technical services on their industrial account. Hope that helps! Wanda

Happy Friday This is a question to those who work at a hospital that have contracted pathologists. Does your hospital bill the technical component and the pathologist bill the profession component or does the pathologist bill everything and pay the hospital for technical component?
