About Us

The division of pathology at CHKD is devoted to the practice of anatomic and clinical pathology in children ranging from prenatal age to 21. 

Anatomic pathologists focus on tissue diagnosis, while clinical pathologists focus on the evaluation and diagnosis of disease evident in the embryo, fetus, infant, child, and adolescent via body fluids.

Our team offers clinical chemistry, coagulation, hematology, microbiology, and molecular diagnostics.

Insurance and Billing Information

We accept all major insurances, including Virginia Medicaid, Tricare, and Cardinal Health. Please take the time to understand how your insurance plan works, especially regarding annual deductibles and co-pays, which can affect your out-of-pocket costs.

Unless you have HMO insurance that requires a referral from a primary care physician, a referral is not required. You can simply call our office to make an appointment.

If your insurance does require a referral, make sure it has not expired and remember to bring it with you to the appointment.

Everyone should bring a government-issued photo ID and their insurance card to every medical appointment.

We offer in-depth information about insurance in our billing and insurance section.
