Pathologist: what to know
A pathologist examines tissue and cells under the microscope after a biopsy, an operation or a smear test. Their findings help your doctor confirm or rule out a condition and choose treatment; they usually work with doctors rather than seeing patients directly.
When to book an appointment
- Analysis of a biopsy requested by your doctor
- Examination of tissue removed during an operation
- Analysis of a cervical screening smear test
- A second opinion on a report requested by your doctor
Costs in Switzerland
Pathology tests requested by a doctor are covered by compulsory basic health insurance (LAMal/KVG); patients do not usually need to book an appointment themselves.
