Section 5.72. List of tests and fee schedules

(a) No blanket contract fee service may be made. Per specimen cost may vary with volume, but the fee schedule shall be clearly stated, and offered equally to all persons using the services of the laboratory. Except for cost adjustments due to volume, only a single fee schedule shall be maintained and applied by a licensed laboratory.

(b) A copy of each list of tests and each fee schedule issued by a laboratory shall be placed on file with the Department prior to issuance, and changes in the schedules filed within 10 days of issuance. The record of fees shall include individual fees, contract fees and special volume prices.

(c) It shall be an unethical practice for a laboratory not to follow the practices in § 5.48 (relating to disclosure of charges).
