Biomarker Return on Investment (ROI)

Biomarker Return on Investment (ROI)

This ROI covers only 1 of the many biomarkers available: C-reactive Protein (CRP) in dogs. This biomarker is used for diagnosing and monitoring inflammation, the most common element of chronic diseases.
How many dogs do you see in your clinic each day on average?
How many of those do you suspect or later confirm have some form of inflammation as a result of infection, chronic disease, or cancer?
Calculation
Although you can (and should) run multiple tests throughout the diagnosis and monitoring processes, the following is based on running just ONE test per suspected case of inflammation.
Your one biomarker test will cost you $14. How much will you charge your client to run the CRP test? (We recommend $59 per test).
Assuming you work only weekdays (average 21.5 days/month), by running just one test per case of inflammation, your profit per month would be:
