[Histonet] pay rate

[Bethany May]

Hello everyone,


I have a friend in central Florida who just passed the exam for 
histotechnologist! Yay for her!!


She was wondering what the going rate of pay would be for that region of the 
country.


Could anyone direct me to a site where they might post this information?  She 
was given a "raise" after passing the exam to $22.5/hour. I thought this was on 
the extreme low side.?


Thanks for any input.

[Histonet] Cytology billing

[Terri Braud]

I have a question for all you cytology prep Histo folk out there.

1.   If I have an FNA with 2 direct smears but NOT immediate 
interpretation, and an aspirate that is made into a Cell block, what will be 
the CPT codes charged?

2.   Also, If I have an FNA with 2 direct smears for immediate 
interpretation, and an aspirate that will only make a thin prep, what will be 
the CPT codes Charged?
Inquiring Histo minds need some clarity, please.
Thanks, Terri

[Histonet] All Common Question 30550

[Piche, Jessica]

Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if everyone has a written procedure for performance 
verification for their tissue processors? And if so what your procedure 
entails? Performance verification reports from companies that fix the tissue 
processor or an actual program on the tissue processor to verify that it 
processed tissue correctly.

Got a ding with CAP because we didn't have a procedure in regards to the tissue 
processors, but I thought this question in the all common checklist had to do 
with chemistry analyzers and chemistry's equipment in general. Wondering what 
others are doing. Thank you in advance!!!

HI Guys-

I need procedures including products to create a plasma cell block for non-gyn

The one we have uses bovine thrombin and calcium chloride (dihydrate) but it's

[Histonet] qIHC Prep

[Coffey, Anna (NIH/NCI) [C]]

Histonet,

I am preparing for my IHC qualification exam this summer and I am very 
interested to hear about what prep materials you used to prepare for the exam. 
I have the Carson book, the DAKO guide book, and the workbook put out by the 
Michigan Society of HTs. I'm wondering if any of you have other suggestions on 
materials that were helpful to you and if you know of any practice exams out 
there. I'm finding that, although the workbook is helpful, I'm not actually 
sure if my answers are 100% correct. I appreciate any help you can give me!

Thanks,
Anna
