Blood smears are routinely examined by technologists according to the 
criteria listed under 'CBC (Complete Blood Count), Blood'.  However, 
this service is a direct examination by a technologist in response to a 
specific inquiry.  The specific reason for the examination must be 
noted on the requisition.  Examination can be requested on either a 
current CBC or in review of a smear, if available.  The technologist's 
narrative interpretation is reported by computer.

A CBC is necessary to order this pathology slide review.
