Annual Fees
In most cases, when more than one fee category applies the only highest applicable category will be assessed, however certain categories such as Teletherapy and R&D are always "add-ons". 10 NYCRR 16.41 lists fees for all license types. The following table lists some common license types and the appropriate fees. Please contact this office to clarify the proper fee to include with your application.
The appropriate annual fee must be received with the license application or the application will be returned.
| Category | Fee | Example licenses |
|---|---|---|
| Category I: | $5,265 | Medical Broadscope |
| Category II: | $3,510 | Academic Broadscope |
| Category III: | $1,400 | Nuclear Pharmacy, Brachytherapy AND Nuclear Medicine |
| Category IV: | $ 880 | Nuclear Medicine (Nuclear Cardiology), Teletherapy, R&D, Academic |
| Category V: | $ 350 | Clinical Laboratory, Mobile Imaging Equipment Service |
| Category VI: | $ 50 | Gas chromatograph |
