I am scared to see what is going to happen to the technical component of 88305
next month. A consultant is telling people to prepare for a 10 to 20 percent
cut. Immunos and cytology enhancement 88112 are going to be slashed for 2014.
It's going to be very difficult for smaller AP labs to
I don't doubt what you're saying, but can you source this info more
specifically than a consultant? I'm going to discuss this with my colleagues
and they're going to ask me.
Needless to say, a 10-20% cut in the TC of 88305, coming down the pipe in a
month or two, is a big deal.

Here is what CAP has on their website about the issue.
Only the TC of 88305 is being discussed for 2013. We should know fairly soon
the decision.
More codes have been flagged as overvalued as well that could be cut for 2014
(PC and TC at this point).
This is disturbing news. As an employee of an in-house lab (which started in
1996/1997) that does mostly skins, GI biopsies, and outpatient surgery
specimens I'm pretty disheartened to hear about the 88305 issue. Melanoma
excisions, prostates (even lower block # cases, we don't always get 12),
Does anyone know where I can get the little cardboard tabs that you use as
placeholders when a block or slide is pulled from the file?
Thanks!

Let's face it POL's were established to make more money for the groups, which
takes money from the big reference labs who have large lobbyist groups.

I am interested in doing whole body cryosections (10-50 um thick) of adult mice

large samples. Can anyone tell me what kind of cryostat we

Hi everybody-
We're testing a way to improve some of our IHC staining by inserting a Zinc
Formalin post-fix step but we can't find just a little bit! Does anyone have
ZN formalin where they could send us a little bit--even just 10 ml so I don't
have to buy a huge bottle we may never use?
