How to Send a Consult
1. Fill out the form
Print this form and fill it out to be sent to us along with your slides.
2. Ask your doctor to send your slides
Send the form to your doctor. Ask your doctor to include the form with your slides and send everything to Johns Hopkins Pathology.
3. Get your diagnosis
A diagnosis is usually reached within 3-5 days of your slides' arrival at Johns Hopkins. A report with the diagnosis will be faxed to your doctor. It's really that simple!
Consult Fees
At this time, Johns Hopkins is considered a non-participating provider with UnitedHealthcare. The contractual agreement between JH and UnitedHealthcare has ended, and JH will not be accepting UnitedHealthcare insurance coverage for services rendered.
For outside providers requesting a second opinion, your facility will be billed directly for services. Patients seeking a second opinion independently are welcome; however, please note that consults will be provided on a self-pay basis, and patients will be financially responsible for all charges incurred.
