Fee-for-service Autopsy list
The CAP has not investigated the training or experience of any individual on this list. Before engaging the services of any such individual, please conduct your own investigation and assessment of the qualifications of that individual. THE COLLEGE OF AMERICAN PATHOLOGISTS DOES NOT ENDORSE ANY INDIVIDUAL ON THE LIST AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACTIONS OF SUCH INDIVIDUAL.
This list is maintained in the hopes of providing families with options when an autopsy is not otherwise available through their local hospital or medical examiner/coroner. In addition to the financial and logistical details, family members inquiring about autopsy services from providers on this list should consider asking pertinent questions such as:
- “Will the autopsy help answer the question(s) we have about the death?”
- “How many fee-for-service autopsies have you performed in the last year?”
- “How can we facilitate review of medical records prior to the autopsy?”
- “What facilities do you use for histology and special staining of tissue sections?”
- “How soon should I expect a final autopsy report?”
The answers to these and other relevant questions (such as questions about toxicology and/or other postmortem blood testing in certain situations) should help inform the decision-making process in selecting a fee-for-service autopsy pathologist.
