17012.1 – Fee Increases for Outside Labwork

Result Statement: Our client prices for outside lab tests are updated yearly before or
within two weeks after fee increases in order to charge accurately and fairly to the client
and hospital.

Overview:

Treatment Category “Laboratory – Other” and “Laboratory – Outside Blood Test” are
both based on Antech fee increases and NOT changed here. They are changed as we
receive notice from Antech. They are marked up 2.5 X cost of the LIST PRICE. You will
get a 20__ Fee Schedule – this is our DISCOUNTED prices. Wait for the book from
Antech that has the LIST prices in it.
o Start with “Laboratory – Other” in AVimark. Print the treatment
category. Highlight each line as you adjust cost AND price in AVImark.

Do the same with “Laboratory – Outside blood test”. You may have to
call Antech to get the list prices on some tests. Some will not be in the
book.
o Many of these tests (especially the profiles that are SA___) can be found
by logging into www.antechonline.com and entering the TEST CODE #
under the “Test Guides”. Search under the name and type in the code #
or go to the letter it starts with and look for it on the list.
o There are a few exceptions due to special pricing and they are listed
below with the markup:
▪ Heartworm antigen

▪ Pre-op screens are marked up 4X
▪ Wellness profile (sr, early detection and wellness) – sometimes
ask the Antech rep what the “going rate” is for these.
▪ ACTH stim test of various sizes has much different markups due to
cost of the cortrosyn used with the test. Mark it up the
percentage of increase that Antech increased their fee by.
▪ OIE-FAVN Rabies Blood Test (export) – Marked up 2 X cost
▪ Lymphosarcoma PARR Tissue Assay – Marked up 2 X cost
