These examinations also include procedures to determine, measure, or otherwise describe the presence or absence of various substances or organisms in the body. Facilities only collecting or preparing specimens (or both) or only serving as a mailing service and not performing testing are not considered clinical laboratories. (2) Any facility that examines materials from the human body for purposes of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of any disease or impairment of, or the assessment of, the health of human beings. Typical divisions of a clinical laboratory include hematology, cytology, bacteriology, histology, biochemistry, medical toxicology, and serology.

Pathology examination of tissue using a microscope, intermediate complexity
Pathology examination of tissue using a microscope, moderately high complexity
Preparation of tissue for examination by removing any calcium present
A pathology examination of tissue with intermediate complexity involves studying a small sample of your body tissue under a microscope. This helps in identifying any abnormal cells or signs of disease. It's a detailed process requiring expert analysis to ensure accurate results.
This service was performed 178 times for 125 patientsA pathology examination of tissue with moderate complexity involves a detailed study of a small tissue sample from your body. Using a microscope, experts analyze the tissue's structure and cells to identify any abnormalities. This helps in diagnosing various health conditions accurately.
This service was performed 18 times for 15 patientsThis procedure involves treating tissue samples to remove any calcium, which can interfere with the examination. The tissue is soaked in a special solution that safely dissolves the calcium, leaving the tissue intact for accurate analysis. This helps in making precise diagnoses.

NPI NPI Number Validation
How NPI Validation Works
The NPI validation process uses the ISO-standard Luhn algorithm, a mathematical "handshake", to ensure that a provider's 10-digit ID is authentic and free of common typing errors.
To verify the NPI 1518006014, we treat the final digit (4) as the Check Digit—the target answer we need to reach. The process begins by taking the first nine digits and adding a constant value of 24, which accounts for the "80840" prefix required for all U.S. health identifiers. We then double every other digit starting from the right and sum the individual digits of those results together. For this specific NPI, that total comes to 46. The final step is to find the difference between that total and the next multiple of ten (50 - 46 = 4).
Digit-by-digit view
Use the first nine digits for the calculation. Starting from the right, double every other digit. The last digit is the check digit and is not part of the calculation.
Step 1: Double every other digit from the right
Starting with the rightmost digit of the first nine digits, double every other value. If doubling creates a two-digit number, add those digits together.
Step 2: Add all digits plus the NPI constant
Add the transformed values, the unchanged digits, and the constant 24.
Step 3: Find the amount needed to reach the next multiple of 10
The next multiple of ten after 46 is 50. The difference is the calculated check digit.
