A view of the test menu page is interesting (http://www.theranos.com/test-menu?ref=for_providers). Each individual item is charged separately. So a 6-analyte LFT would be at least $18 [£13 approx], which is about £11.50 more than the NHS cost. If they want to make profit at that level, they may find it difficult in the UK market. However, some tests are very good value for money (e.g. ANA @ $8.31), so they might be able to devastate the send away market. ************************************************************************************** Prof. Tim Reynolds Consultant Chemical Pathologist / Clinical Director - Diagnostics / R&D Lead, Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust work tel: 01283 511511 ext 4035 work fax: 01283 593064 work email: [log in to unmask] work URL: www.burtonhospitals.nhs.uk This e-mail, and any files transmitted with it, are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
