RE: charges for multiple specimens in 1 bottle
It is my understanding that if the pathologist gives separate diagnoses for
each specimen you can charge per specimen. It is not container driven.

What kind of specimens? Skin bx? I used to get 3-4 skin bx per bottle that
the dermatologist inked different colors - we could only charge for one
specimen, even tho they were 3-4 different sites. I don't think you can
charge for 3 specimens if you have one container.

We recently recieved a specimen with 3 biopsies in one bottle, yes I know
it's
crazy. My question is can we charge 3X's, the specimens can be identified
microscopically.
Thanks for your help
