"CLIA is funded by user fees." Who are the users? GangofOne 20:00, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

My understanding is that the labs pay the fee. Joaquin Murietta 23:12, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

And it is obligatory that a lab pay the fees to legally provide the services, if I am understanding correctly. Of course the costs are passed on to the speciment-bearers. So it's just a cost of doing business for the labs. (I just trying to understand how things are set up.) GangofOne 23:25, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

definitely passed onto the consumer! Thanks. Joaquin Murietta 07:41, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
