Our laboratory is able to assist you in evaluating the dynamics of your practice and in structuring an arrangement that will provide a progressive approach to the challenges you face.

Recent reimbursement trends in the medical field have led many physicians to evaluate alternative business models for their practices. Pathology services, often viewed as ancillary services, have become a major area of focus. Many dermatologists have found that performing these services in-house, i.e., by hiring their own pathologist, provides many advantages to their practices.
These advantages include the following:

• Increased control over the quality of diagnostic readings
• Face-to-face consultations with the pathologist, permitting collaboration to provide
better patient care
• Faster turnaround time for the receipt of laboratory results
• Generation of increased revenue from the in-house pathology services

In the world of ever-changing government regulations, the Technical Component/Professional Component (TC/PC) model is often viewed as the easiest, low-risk model to implement. Aurora Diagnostics performs the TC of processing your specimens, while your practice performs the PC of reading and interpreting the slides. Our laboratory is able to assist your practice throughout the implementation process. Moreover, we will gladly serve as a resource with pathology recruitment, insurance credentialing, and logistics.
