FAQs
The bill you received details the services performed by our pathologists during your encounter at a Methodist Healthcare Facility and could be for one or more of the following:
- Microscopic examination of your tissue – a biopsy or surgical specimen
- Microscopic examination of a cytology sample – a fine needle aspiration
- Interpretation of a blood or urine test
Pathologists interpret biopsy and surgical specimens, supervise, validate, and evaluate laboratory results to provide your attending physician with information needed for diagnosis and treatment.
Laboratory tests and pathology reports are given to your Doctor who can best interpret the results to you.
