Preparation for the Bone Marrow Procedure
The patient does not need to do any special preparation for the procedure. They may eat prior to the biopsy and take their daily medication. However, if a patient is currently taking any medication that increases the risk of bleeding, such as blood thinners, you may need to stop medication prior to the procedure. CorePath’s Interventional Pathologists perform the procedure using standard local anesthesia. Additional medication such as sedative and/or a pain reliever may be prescribed, however are not required for most bone marrow biopsy procedures. Patients who take medications that can cause drowsiness will need to arrange transportation with a third-party or care giver.

20/20 Core Evaluation Report (Flow Results Within 12-24 Hours)
Once the bone marrow biopsy is complete, patients’ sample will be scientifically tested and evaluated by our team of laboratory scientists and board certified pathologists in the same facility in which the biopsy was performed. The laboratory studies include pathology consultation with morphologic interpretation and/or ancillary studies (Flow Cytometry, Routine Chromosome Analysis, FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization), PCR and/or NGS (Next Generation Sequencing). These laboratory tests can take 10-14 days to complete. The results will be shared with you through the LabVizor secure provider portal and/or auto-faxed based on client preferences.

CorePath is contracted with most insurance companies. Your patient can expect to receive one bill from CorePath for performing the procedure, processing, and interpreting the results. CorePath will bill a patient’s insurance for services, collect any copays, coinsurance, and/or deductibles as required by patient’s insurance policy.
