Pathology and specimen testing

Understand why tissue or specimen testing may create separate reports and charges and what customers can track after a procedure.

What pathology does

Pathology examines tissue, cells, or other specimens. It may be part of a biopsy, surgery, screening, or other diagnostic process.

Customer questions

  • Will pathology be billed separately?
  • Which laboratory or pathology group will process the specimen?
  • Is that group in network?
  • When is the report usually available?
  • Which clinician will explain the result?

Track the result

  • Procedure date
  • Specimen type or procedure
  • Pathology laboratory
  • Report status
  • Clinician follow-up appointment or message
  • Any recommended next steps
