[Histonet] Placentas

From:Cindy DuBois



We do this for one of our hospitals.  We do charge the patient / insurance for a "Gross Only" on the placentas we accession as a gross only specimen.  
   
  We were told that since the child  and / or parents can sue the hospital up to 20 years later for any perceived problems that may have arisen out of the pregnancy or labor, this was to cover the hospital legally.
   
  The only hassle we have with this is how to store all the blocks we are producing.
