TVMDL Fee Schedule

Download Full Fee Schedule (PDF)

Accession Fee: $7.00 for all clients per accession.

Accession fees apply to each accession/case, not each specimen. An accession is defined samples from the same animal/herd/flock, originating from a single animal owner, submitted for the same condition, collected at the same time. This allows clients to receive bulk testing of same species (from the same owner) under one accession. Poultry submissions requesting multiples tests (e.g., AI, Mg/Ms, culture, etc.) for a single flock are counted as one accession.
