At a glance
Request laboratory preparation requirements, existing-report needs and itemised terms for a proposed PGT enquiry.
Use this record for this specific task
Start with the clinical question stated by the responsible clinician, then ask the laboratory which existing reports and preparation it requires. Do not assume that one test’s availability means another test, combined testing or bespoke preparation is available. Keep preparation charges and test charges separate in the quotation and ask how no-result or repeat-test situations are handled.
PGT-A or PGT-M enquiry: laboratory preparation and quote checklist. Use this blank worksheet to organise an enquiry and record answers from the responsible provider. It is not a completed customer case, actual quotation, clinical plan or confirmation that a service is available.
Before completing the worksheet
Use a separate copy for each provider or appointment. Record who supplied each answer and its date. Keep your own priorities separate from the provider’s written confirmation. A blank field means an answer is missing; it does not mean a service is free, included, appropriate or permitted.
