How much does a diagnosis cost and what does it include?

We charge $70 per sample for disease diagnosis. This includes a consultation with Plant Health Program staff and an overall evaluation, including a microscopic exam and culturing and visual identification of potential pathogens. Additional tests may be included at the submitter’s request to confirm diagnoses, and will be billed accordingly.
