Judy,
 
If the grossing tech is at $50.00 per hour that is the going rate in some parts of the country....my experience has been in the east and south...most 88305's nets $34-75 per specimen on the technical aspect of the billing for the laboratory dependant on the payor mix...

Our grossing techs usually gross up to 50 specimens per hour (most are 88305) so at your suggested rate, they would be paid $400.00 per day.  That would be $50.00 per hour. That seems unreasonable.
