You can only charge the patient as you describe, but I would think the reference lab would charge per their contract with you.

We stopped doing IHC's some time ago and we send them out to a reference lab. If we send 4 blocks from 1 specimen, let's say part "A" and 2 blocks from specimen "B", from what I know, we can only charge for 1 block from each specimen per antibody. My question is this... Can the reference lab charge us for all 6 blocks?? Thanks in advance for your help! Valerie Hannen,MLT(ASCP),HTL,SU (FL) Section Chief, Histology Parrish Medical Center 951 N.
