Private Primary Health Association: How are PCRs available at below cost?

Peaks for the reliability of PCR tests offered or advertised by diagnostic laboratories and institutions at a price much lower than the pricing price of 47 euros, “even below 30 euros”, leaves the Panhellenic Federation of Private Primary Health Associations, asking the question “How can PCR be available at below cost?”

It calls on citizens to check the reliability and quality of the services provided and whether the security measures required to conduct these tests to prevent coronary heart disease are actually observed.

“When the reagents and the total cost for performing these tests are a little below the price, we ask the specific diagnostic laboratories and polyclinics, which of course must be legally licensed by the relevant Medical Associations and certified, to us inform about how they have achieved these prices “, says the Federation.

Explains that the performance of the molecular test for COVID requires special protection measures for the staff, special reagents, medical waste collection company, specialized administrative staff for the registration of the results in the Register of IDIKA and of course the remaining operating costs are allocated for conducting this examination.

“So we wonder how these tests are performed at such low prices, when the aforementioned costs for most diagnostic laboratories are just under the price of 47 euros and of course provided that all the safety measures provided by the protocols are observed in order to they are reliable “.

The Panhellenic Federation of Private Primary Health Associations explains that in “it is logical in some cases of diagnostic laboratories that perform a large volume of tests, to be able to compress all these costs, since this is how market law works. But in no case is it possible to squeezing this cost for a simple biopathological laboratory below 35-40 euros before taxes “.
