Additional Information
Test includes pathologist interpretation of results billed as a separate additional charge or billed to the client as a global fee; there is no pro fee for tech only (TO) cases. Generally, immunohistochemistry/immunoperoxidase procedures serve as an adjunct to surgical histopathology to identify the origin or type of neoplasm, or to detect specific antigens in normal tissues at the light microscope or electron microscope levels. For additional markers or uses contact the MLabs Client Services Center.
