• To the Editor.-Checklists can improve compliance with defined standards in a variety of situations,1,2 including surgical pathology.3-6 Along these lines, we have previously shown that a Web-based checklist can improve the completeness of synoptic reporting in surgical pathology.7 The Medicare Access and CHIP [Children's Health Insurance Program] Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) for pathology is a standard that requires that pathologists report both the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD10) and billing codes for specific types of pathology specimens. Since August 2016, our synoptic reports for breast, lung, prostate, and melanoma resections have included a question that asks the pathologist to report both the ICD10 and the billing code for that specimen.
