Payment
This test incurs an out-of-pocket fee, which must be paid at the time of collection unless a third party has been nominated to cover the costs.
If you nominate a third party, you must provide WDP Pathology with a written statement (on letter-headed paper) or a pre-printed chain of custody form from the third party, clearly stating that they will accept responsibility for the payment.
Important:
The collection will not proceed without either payment or confirmation that a third party will cover the costs.
