Institutional/Entity Billing Option
- All referral laboratories and/or facilities that choose this billing option will automatically be entered into our billing data system as an established account. (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.)
- 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.
- We DO NOT offer discounts. Any price adjustments are arranged, directly, by the Molecular Director.
- A completed test requisition form with the “institution section” clearly marked/stamped is necessary in order for testing of sample to be initiated.
- To establish an institutional account, please contact Venessa Gamboa at 312-213-5441.
Self-Pay Option
- We apologize, but at this time, we are no longer able to offer a self-pay option. Please contact Jim Meyer at 773-795-3016 with any questions about self-pay.
