Standard screening is set at \u003cstrong\u003e$250\u003c\/strong\u003e per procedure. Corporate contracts, which offer volume stability, are projected at \u003cstrong\u003e$220\u003c\/strong\u003e.

If you cannot secure the \u003cstrong\u003e$250\u003c\/strong\u003e ASP for Standard services due to payer pushback, the entire financial structure shifts.
