We do not charge for the MMR titers or vaccination.   We perform the titers in house so cost is minimal.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Charging for MMR titers

We are seeing an increase in the costs for performing MMR titers. If a new hire employee is unable to provide proof of vaccination for MMR, do you charge for performing titers? If the employee needs the vaccine, do you charge for it?

Thanks,
