Dermatology

Does anyone have experience with Dermatology offices who could help with some general information?  We have a new dermatology provider joining our group.  This is a new specialty for us.  She will be sending pathology to a local path lab but evidently wants to look at the specimens herself in the office as well.  If they are sent off for confirmation, is her review considered testing?  If so, is it PPMP and thus needs a CLIA license?  Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

It does not seem like there would be a problem in just looking at a specimen. The problem would be in billing for that review as PPMP (if that is going to be done), and then having another billing submitted by your path lab.  I would suggest you get advice from your Path Lab for starters.  Other than that, I guess I would see what CMMS has to say about it.
