Ill. Admin. Code tit. 77 § 475.25
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 45, November 8, 2024
Section 475.25 - Fee ScheduleThe 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:
