Haven't heard of that one yet. Just so the Dr. is licensed to read the slides. Wouldn't it essentially (geographically) be the same as a Dr. reading consult slides from another hospital? Claire

We have our laboratory at one physical address and our Dermatopathologists at another physical address (the hospital). The surveyor indicated that we need a separate CLIA and state license for the hospital location where the slides are being read even though no tests are performed there. These are high complexity Tissue Pathology. Has anyone heard of this before or have a similar set up and how are you licensed. It doesn't sound accurate to me. My understanding was that any test being performed required licensure, I have never heard of laboratory licensure being required for the reporting of results. Please provide any assistance or experience you can!!! Thanks! Caroline M.
