Department of Health rule relating to fees for services

SB 269 updates the fee schedule for laboratory services provided by the West Virginia Department of Health. It revises Appendix A of the existing rule (64 CSR 51) to establish specific fees for different types of tests, such as $20 for individual metal analyses, $125 for EPA-regulated volatile organic compounds, and $185 for certain synthetic organic compound packages. This bill directly affects laboratories that submit samples for testing to the Department of Health, as they will now pay these updated rates. The changes are limited to the fee structure and do not alter the scope of services offered.
