Sending Specimens |
|
We provide you with supplies as follows:
- Requisition forms
- Formalin-filled containers
- Mailing containers
Specimens are placed in formalin-filled containers and are properly labeled.- Labeling: Label specimen with the patient's name, location, and date of the biopsy. If there is more than one biopsy, the specimens must be marked with a letter which corresponds to the labeling on the requisition form.
- Requisition Form: Complete the form making sure that the labeling of the specimens corresponds to the labeling on the specimen containers.
Fill-in the biographical data as well as the billing information. A copy of the patient's insurance card may be sent instead of filling up the billing information. Clinical history/diagnosis is strongly recommended.
- Packaging: Specimen containers only are placed in sealed plastic bags. Specimens and requisition forms are then placed in mailing cylinders or boxes and in express mail paks.
- Mailing: For regular contributors in the U.S., an account number for payment of express shipment for next day delivery will be provided.
