Reports for routine specimens are usually available within 24 hours of receipt. Our clients with a bi-directional interface will see results in their EMR within minutes of the case being resulted. If you don’t already have an interface, we urge our client sites to request a bi-directional interface.
If an interface is not an available option, we offer faxed reports.
You have referred your patient’s specimen to Celligent Diagnostics for processing. Upon arrival in our laboratory, the tissue samples undergo multiple processing steps before being embedded in wax, sectioned and placed on glass slides by our professional laboratory staff. Each slide is carefully examined by one of our board-certified pathologists and a diagnosis is rendered. A report is dictated, transcribed and sent to you. Your patient or patient’s insurance is billed globally for our services.
Cases may be designated as rush by writing RUSH on the requisitions and calling the laboratory directly. Rush cases are read first and results are called/faxed to your office as soon as the case is completed.
