}} Vachette Pathology was founded in 2002 and is a nationwide pathology practice management firm. It was founded by Mick Raich, a speaker and author on issues, practices and trends related to pathology practice and laboratory billing. Vachette works with hospital-based pathology practices, independent laboratories and hospital outreach laboratories. In working with clients, Vachette "takes a two-part approach to pathology practices."[1] First, it conducts an audit of billing practices to determine if they are being done correctly. Second, it serves as a liaison between the practice and managed care companies to "do what [it] can to help managed care companies pay more money."[1] As a pathology consultant, Vachette Pathology is periodically used as a spokesperson for its industry on operational and related issues that impact the typical small business physicians and pathology groups.[2][3] Recently, Raich was quoted as saying that the future demand for pathologists "will only increase their value as the work pool decreases," which will put them in a stronger position when "negotiating favorable hospital contracts."[4] Raich's forecast for the increased demand for pathologists echos a similar forecast by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.[5] Mick RaichMick Raich has presented at many major national pathology and laboratory society conferences, and numerous state societies during his 26-year health care career. He is frequently quoted, interviewed and published as a specialist in this field. Raich supports Path PAC and is a member of the Medical Group Management Association. Raich's career experience includes direct patient care, hospital management and working at a pathology billing company. His industry presentations include:
