Should I Charge for This?
I see no reason not to charge for your special skills, knowledge, and equipment. There is no reason to feel guilty about charging unless you don't ask the client first. They should be able to accept or decline the additional charges. When they accept the diagnostics and fees, you can feel good about providing a service that few GPs can.
