Please note that beginning January 1, 2015, the Comparative Neuromuscular Laboratory will be increasing the price of all tests. As in past years, we have made every effort to avoid rate increases even as the price of laboratory supplies, reagents and labor costs have increased. For 2015, however, we must raise all prices by 8% due to additional overhead charges imposed on us by UCSD.
