The fee schedule purports to estimate the reimbursable cost allocable to retrieving a particular body part, organ or tissue. If the laws against trafficking were being observed, the fees for providing the fetal parts ordered should essentially correspond to the wholesaler?s costs of $6,700 computed above.
According to logs detailing tissue shipments, 155 specimens were shipped in a representative month. These specimens included:
<><> 47 livers,
<><> 11 liver fragments,
<><>7 brains,
<><>21 eyes,
<><> 8 thymuses,
<><> 23 legs,
<><> 14 pancreases,
<><> 14 lungs,
<><> 6 arms,
<><> 1 kidney/adrenal gland, and,
<><> 3 intact specimens for purposes of securing the blood.
When priced out according to the Fee for Service Schedule, the shipment of parts for the month generated gross revenues of between $18,700 and $24,700, depending upon whether the parts were shipped fresh or frozen.
Some sample prices for individual body parts from the above-referenced schedule are as follows:
<><> liver $150,
<><> pancreas $100,
<>><>thymus $100,
<><> kidney $125,
<><> lungs and heart block $150,
<><> brain $999,
<><> spinal cord $325,
