Newborn Screening Card Fee Increase Effective 08/01/2025
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) has added, by rule, screening for X-ALD (X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy) and MPS 1 (Mucopolysaccharidosis type I) conditions to the Wisconsin Newborn Screening Program’s panel of conditions. This rule will go into effect once it is published in the Wisconsin State Journal, which is expected to occur on August 1, 2025.
With the issuance of this rule, the newborn screening blood card fee will be $223. The fee adjustment supports the program’s ability to carry out all required newborn screening activities, including the implementation of these new screenings.
