Cracking the Code: Getting Pathology Test Codes Right First Time

Selecting the most appropriate pathology test code can sometimes feel more complex than expected. With a wide range of Clinical Pathology (CP) and Anatomic Pathology (AP) options available, understanding the logic behind test codes is essential to ensuring samples are submitted correctly and results are delivered efficiently.

In this practical webinar, we will explore the philosophy behind IDEXX pathology test coding, explain how CP and AP test offerings are structured, and discuss some of the most common challenges faced by veterinary teams when selecting tests. We will also highlight frequent pitfalls and share practical guidance to help you choose the right code first time, reducing delays, avoiding unnecessary amendments, and helping you get the answers you need for your patients more quickly.

Join our pathology experts as they share real-world examples, address common questions, and provide useful tips to help make pathology test selection simpler and more confident in everyday practice.
