AATB Eliminates Additional Fees for Satellite Site Inspections

February 3, 2025

AATB is pleased to announce that we will no longer charge institutional members a supplemental fee for satellite site inspections conducted as part of the routine three-year accreditation cycle. 

Previously, member establishments were required to pay an additional $3,000 per satellite site. While we will still require establishments to report the location and address of all satellite sites for accreditation purposes—and these sites may still be subject to desk reviews or on-site inspections, depending on their activities—there will no longer be a separate fee for these inspections. 

This change applies only to the standard three-year accreditation cycle and does not affect reinspections or other special inspection fees. 

We appreciate your continued commitment to maintaining the highest standards in tissue banking and look forward to supporting your accreditation needs.
