Offer indoor allergen testing.

I was just at the Jewish Health site, and I had some questions. Wanted to verify the TOTAL cost of getting an Allergen sample processed. Its been my experience, that total costs are seldom totaled outright, with most of these labs. The cost for this service from this provider is awesome --
IF --- all costs are included. Sampling/collection -->mailing -->analysis --> results --> report.
Problem is, I searched all over this site, and couldn't find a contact email to make sure of the total price. Can anyone tell me where I can inquire at this organization, so that I am sure that I have all the facts?

Sorry -- I see now that the info is at the beginning of this post. I guess this is what happens when B&LLS*#T fills an otherwise valuable resource. Love this forum guys --just wish those select few would shut if they are not offering anything of value. Some people are like a few toilets I've seen at inspections. Ya just can't gettem ta flush.

I'm late to this conversation so I apologize for not picking it up where it was left off, but as a environmental specialist (who knows the difference in quality between the do-it-yourself test kits and a professional inspection that addresses a specific area of concern by a qualified person) I don't know why any of professional that offers a service would dillute it with offering something of lower quality as a do-it-yourself test kit that takes business away from you, the professional, and put it in the pockets of the makers of these products and the laboroatories that analyze the samples brought in; especially now, with the economy like it is. There can be legal implications of referring someone to a negative end. I don't mean to imply that this is some direct stab in the back by the NACHI on its members (that's non of my business and I don't really care). My interest is in why a professional that provides this service would want to direct people to a lesser end for both themselves and the person getting the referral?
