Fee Schedule Notes:
- A diagnostic accession represents a laboratory submission for a single clinical
problem (disease syndrome) from one owner or herd/flock.
- Food animal/poultry accessions may consist of single or multiple specimens from the same production unit, same species, and same age group, with one clinical problem. Specimens may be pooled by the laboratory when doing so does not compromise the outcome of test results. Submissions representing multiple animals of different ages and/or with different clinical problems will be charged as separate accessions.
- Small animals, exotic animals, and equines will be treated as individuals with separate accessions. Litters (neonates) and birds up to 5 animals will be treated as one accession, but specimens may be pooled by the laboratory when doing so does not compromise the outcome of test results.
- Submitting samples, specimens, or animals to the BVC implies agreement to policies of Murray State University and the Breathitt Veterinary Center and transfers ownership of samples and property to the Breathitt Veterinary Center on receipt unless otherwise determined by written agreement prior to submission.
- Fee Caps:
- Total animal disease diagnostic charges for Kentucky-origin accessions will be limited to $75.
- Total animal disease diagnostic charges for Non-Kentucky origin accessions will be limited to $150.
- Non-Kentucky origin accessions will be assessed an additional processing fee and higher fees for tests performed. See fee schedule.
- Herd or flock disease surveillance testing will be charged on a per test basis with no caps on charges. Diagnostic accession fee applies.
- Regulatory tests, such as Equine Infectious Anemia, Brucellosis, Pseudorabies, EVA, Johnes, etc., when submitted on official state or federal test charts will not be subject to the diagnostic accession fee.
- Necropsy fees include diagnostic testing and carcass disposal.
- Samples forwarded to another laboratory for testing will be assessed a handling fee. Overnight or other special shipping charges will be charged as noted. Charges for tests performed at another laboratory will be applied to that accession.
- Fees are subject to change without notice. This page represents the most current fee schedule.
- Payment:
- The submitting veterinarian will be billed for services requested on behalf of clients. The Breathitt Veterinary Center will not bill owners directly for services; but, with the approval of the submitting veterinarian, owners may pay laboratory fees at the time of sample/animal delivery.
- Laboratory charges are billed each month and payment is due upon receipt. Laboratory services will be suspended if an account is more than 90 days past due.
