ProPath
Pathology Services
We use
ProPath for
all of our pathology needs. Again it is because of the superior
results they provide us. Dr. McQuillin uses the
SurePath Liquid
based System for all of the PAP smears she performs. It provides
the most accurate test results available for detecting abnormal
cervical cells. We
feel very strongly that the liquid based tests for PAPS are the only
acceptable option for PAP smears. We do not want to risk missing a
cancer by using an outdated system. There are a few insurance
carriers that have not upgraded their standards and will not pay for
this test. We do not perform the older slide method because of the
increased risk of missing abnormal cells. If your insurance company
does not pay for the latest technology you should contact then and
try to have the coverage changed. If you choose to use SurePath and
your insurance company does not cover it, you will have to pay extra
for the cost of the test.
Medical Diagnostics Laboratories
We use
MDL for special DNA and PCR testing when diagnosing certain
infections. They provide the most advanced PCR testing for many of
the lab tests we utilize.
A few insurance companies may requires
patients to use a different than the ones we prefer. We do not have any
control over the choices you and your insurance provider have agreed
upon.
