Additional Tests Lists test(s) that are always performed, at an additional charge, with the initial test(s)
| Unit Code | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
| 8482 | Fibroblast Culture | Yes | Yes |
| 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.
