Resources to learn about billing and business in pathology?

[peachesorangesapples]

Hello, I am a US MD MS4 applying to pathology this year. I am interested in learning more about the billing and business aspects of pathology practice, things that noone teaches you in med school or in residency really. Anyone have any books or powerpoints or pdfs to share? Thank you!

Need to find a older, wise mentor. A mentor who through trial and error, blood sweat and tears has forged a multi-million dollar path empire and yet never did jail time.

PS- Are you an attractive young female applicant? Cheers Dr. H Weinstein.

Also, I'm confused by how pathologists are paid. Are they paid by the slide, by tissue block, or by case/accession number? Do multipart cases pay more than single part cases. Do you get paid for immunostains?

My, my, my, how times have changed. Can y’all imagine that this young’un must ASK if we get paid for immunostains?

Who knows WHAT physicians get paid for anymore.
