Pathology is, in essence, the study of blood, fluid, and tissue samples, which allows doctors to make diagnoses of various illnesses, by looking for specific factors lacking or present in these samples. In medical care, the pathologist is a very valuable part of the medical team, since many diseases are diagnosed or ruled out by microscopic and lab analysis of fluid, blood, or tissue samples.

The total cost of your laboratory tests can cover two areas: the technical fee and the pathology fee. Because the pathologist is an independent physician and not an employee of the MidCoast Health System (El Campo Memorial Hospital, Mid Coast Medical Clinic or any of its affiliates), you may receive a separate bill for the pathologist's service.

El Campo Memorial Hospital (ECMH) and its predecessor have been providing the highest quality medical care in El Campo for over 68 years, and at the current location since 1979.The hospital is accredited by state and federal regulations (Medicare/Medicaid). Patient Billing: Various physicians involved in your care at ECMH will bill you directly for their services. These may include your anesthesiologist, emergency room physician(s), radiologist, pathologist, cardiologist or other consulting physician during your ER visit or hospital stay. Please remember that some physicians are private practitioners (contracted by ECMH and not an actual employee of ECMH) and may not be a provider on your specific managed care plan.
