Illinois Administrative Code › Title 77 - PUBLIC HEALTH › Part 475 - LABORATORY SERVICE FEES › Section 475.25 - Fee Schedule

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The Department has established fees for those diagnostic
				Laboratory services listed in subsection (b).
a) The Laboratory's service fees, itemized in
			 subsection (b), shall not exceed the Department's actual costs to provide the
			 Laboratory's services, and shall consider the current fees charged by private
			 laboratories for comparable services. The Department's actual costs to perform
			 the Laboratory's services shall include the costs of Laboratory personnel,
			 materials and equipment; the Laboratory's data processing, quality control and
			 support costs (e.g., facility-related costs, postage, telephones, supervision,
			 etc.); any Laboratory marketing sales cost; and other Department costs outside
			 the Laboratory but necessary to support the Laboratory's services (e.g.,
			 personnel and financial management costs). The Laboratory's actual costs per
			 unit of service are integrally dependent upon the current technology used to
			 perform laboratory analyses, the test volumes for each laboratory service, and
			 the unit cost of the materials or chemicals/reagents. Because these actual
			 costs per unit of service are subject to change, every effort will be made to
			 review and update the Laboratory's fees on a regular (e.g., biennial)
			 basis.
b) Fees
Unless the sample or specimen is submitted as part of an agreed
				upon Department surveillance program, in which case the fee may be reduced, the
				fees for tests are:

			 when the Department is participating in a special study requiring laboratory
			 analysis.
f) The Director may waive
