Margie, I don't think it's a question of revenue, but more a question of inconvenience on their part of having to send you somewhere else and the time delay, rely on their timetable schedule and getting readings and results back from doctors and techs that they are not familiar with. Also, in many places, sedation requires and anethesiologist (doctor) to perform it.
My Onc/Hema does mine, including locals, in his examining room and we all agree they certainly aren't fun. But I have agree to some extent, 'cause even my VA Hosp. (huge) can do almost all the readings in house, but they too have to send out for the chromosomes. Just my $.02.
