Institutional/Entity Billing Option (Preferred)
- An institutional account is required for all clients submitting specimens. To establish an institutional account, please complete the New Client Setup Form. If you are unsure if you have an account, please contact Venessa Gamboa at venessa.gamboa@uchicagomedicine.org.
- Invoices are generated after each test is completed, unless otherwise requested by the client. We have a 30-day remittance policy from the date of the invoice for receiving payments. If a purchase order number is necessary to ensure timely payment, please provide us with that information at the time of sample submission. Please be advised: All invoices reflecting a greater than 90-day balance, testing of sample will not be initiated until account balances are resolved. Your laboratory will be notified when such action is taken.
- We DO NOT offer discounts. Any price adjustments are arranged, directly, by the Molecular Director.
- A completed test requisition form with the “institutional billing" section clearly marked/stamped is necessary in order for testing of sample to be initiated.
Self-Pay Option
- We apologize, but at this time, we are no longer able to offer a self-pay option.
