There are many over utilization of resources within the health care field. Many gallbladder surgerious are performed unneccesarly by general surgeous who's practice are within hospitals walls. Tonsilectomy. etc. How are those specimens not self reffered to the hospitals AP lab. David you made the comment about specialities staying with there specialty and not branching out. A dermatopathologist specializes in derm specimens so why is it so far fetched that he would read derm specimens from all sources, hospitals or in-house labs. My in-house lab has a higher turn around rate, lower overhead, and cuts courier fees out. We also do a service to our patients by allowing them one stop shopping. We can service all there needs and they do not have to have multiple appointments at different facilities. This cuts down on their copay and billing from multiple doctors. Also, it would cost more for a person to have Mohs surgery in a hospital setting. As we all know cost are higher at a hospital because they have higher overhead. The hospital is self reffering when they let a surgery center or group be affiliated with them. The surgery center was allowed to join the hospital so the hospital could reep the revenue generated and process their specimens. Either way, we are all joined by a common form of employment, and one facility is not better than another. My field provides jobs and creates revenue just like yours. Insurance company are going to make changes to try and make revenue during this change into OBAMA CARE. Remeber we are not the enemy they are. Who are they to dictate how my company runs. Insurance companies have to much power and the decisions they force us to make do not always provide the best patient care. And that is the ultimate goal for any provider, to give best patient care right? This is just another hurdle we all must jump through in these comming changes. I vote we stick together and try our best to protect all our jobs. Wasnt that long ago that each of us we trying to get pay increases and bring the importance of our jobs to the fore front of pathology. The financial squeeze of the helath care system is going to be felt by all. Histology, pathology, radiology, cytology, we all must do our best to role with the punches and ensure quality care and our incomes, as well as our field, reguardless of location.

I happen to work and run at Dermatopathology lab and I am a licensed Histotechnologist. I have worked in the field for twelve years and I produce the same quality of work that I would if I was in a hospital. I also have to comply with the same state and CLIA rules you do. If not we woundlt be treading on thim ice we would be closed down. CLIA would not let my facility remain open if I was not producing the quality of work expected from all histology laboratories. Also, I cannt believe you would want our labs closed down. Do you know how many of YOUR FELLOW histologist you would put out of work. David is such a team player In reguards to stark laws. Maybe you should read what it actually means We only process specimens within our our facility and our slides ARE read by a licensed dermatopathologist. So, please tell me how my work is any less important than ur hospital job? And let me tell you this about my mediocker job. I work M-F 9-5. no weekends and no on-call. I also have full benefits and 401K. So, Im sorry that you feel our labs are some how underqualified, but I would not go back to hospital work, to save my life. Thanks for having my back, your fellow histologist. Nicole Tatum, HT ASCP This is a fascinating thread!! So what are your thoughts on this - It would appear that, if other insurers follow suit, this could pose a huge burden on dermatologists that do their own tissue processing, and all the GI labs across the country that are popping up doing their own in-house histology. It may be hard, and in some cases not possible for those labs to become CAP accredited. In my opinion, that would be a great thing, to see all those physician offices doing histology close their lab doors, and focus on thier own specialty rather than invade the pathology world from which they were not trained. It would seem, to the average witness, that these facilities are treading on very thin ice as it is. It certainly does appear to be a violation of Stark laws that were created for a very good reason. In addition, these offices have stolen the bread and butter from large labs, and hospital pathology departments and left behind the far less profitable work. It would be nice to see that work return to the place it belongs - in Pathology laboratories. It may be a pipe dream at this point, but who knows - maybe this is the start of a very, very good thing.

My fear is that local healthcare will be so undercut that it will become more difficult if not impossible for even hospital labs to compete. I will never be convinced that big is better.
