Additional Tests Lists test(s) that are always performed, at an additional charge, with the initial test(s)
| Test ID | Test Number | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FIBR | 8482 | Fibroblast Culture | Yes | Yes |
| CRYOB | 88832 | Cryopreserve for Biochem Studies | No | Yes |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
When this test is ordered, a fibroblast culture and cryopreservation for biochemical studies will always be performed at an additional charge. However, for multiple lysosomal enzyme assays on a patient utilizing fibroblast culture, only 1 culture is required regardless of the number of enzyme assays ordered. If viable cells are not obtained within 10 days, client will be notified.
Special Instructions and Forms Describes specimen collection and preparation information, test algorithms, and other information pertinent to test. Also includes pertinent information and consent forms to be used when requesting a particular test
