Hi-
A flat fee per slide was charged which included all *technical* preparation
for the final slide. Also prior to the start of a project a cost estimate
was compiled and submitted for review/approval. As portions of projects
were completed we submit via the grant or project number the work completed
and $$'s were deducted from that cost center.
We did do a number of different types of tests/assays and if we were
approached for a new type of assay then we would have to put together a cost
analysis based on the needs of the project. Incorporated into that cost
would be the technical/labor component also including whatever overhead
percentage was required by the facility.
This worked out well as I had everything done 'up front' and knew what was
budgeted. We did have to submit a quarterly report of all work/$$'s to the
government and by doing a flat fee it made life much easier.

Hello all,
I am trying to get a feel for how other core histology facilities are
charging. My main question is if or when technician's labor time is
charged.
Currently we charge a fee per sample for embedding, whether it is paraffin,
plastic, or oct. Then we charge a fee per slide/grid for cutting, and fee
per slide/grid for staining. Any time the technician is doing the work
there
is also a labor/tech time fee per hour.
Any information you are willing to share is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
