What are professional component fees?

Physician services may be billed by the physician directly, or in conjunction with the institution with which they maintain a contractual agreement to mutually provide patient care.  Institutional fees are sometimes called technical fees.  This fee includes the institution’s costs for lab equipment, supplies, and non-physician personnel. Likewise, physician services are reflected in professional fees.  Referring providers depend on timely and accurate diagnosis from Spectrum Pathology in order to treat a variety of illnesses. Professional component fees result from medically necessary services that are separate and distinct from technical lab fees.

Why am I getting a bill from Spectrum Medical Group’s Pathology Division, when I never saw a Pathologist?

If you receive a bill from our Pathologists, it’s because your referring physician, or  the institution where you had your service, requested our review and analysis of your specimen.  While Spectrum's Pathologists staff a number of hospitals, medical practices throughout the area send patient specimens to us for analysis.  We follow up by preparing a report that is sent to the ordering physician, assisting them in development of any necessary treatment plan.

If you have additional insurance information that you have not yet shared with us, please contact our billing office at 800-213-8382.
