Renal biopsy charges/procedures
We are currently looking at our
charges and procedures for renal biopsies and my manager wanted me to see if
anyone on the Histonet would be willing to share what
procedures they do for renals (ie,
special stains, immunos, EM, etc.), the usual
turnaround time, and total charge (both professional and technical).
Thank you in advance for any information. You may reply to me personally
or post on the Histonet.
