Cutting off all independent labs for reference testing. Good idea? Not if LC doesn’t actually follow suit. But why support competition? Without us, they’re finished. Can we coordinate this with LC? More opportunities for us.
You clearly have a limited understanding about how the lab industry and business in general works. Collusion to monopolize and limit access in a healthcare field that heavily reimbursed by government payers? Maybe you should focus on selling the value of your service and quit hoping clients will be forced to use your crappy service.
And you clearly have no knowledge about how multibillion dollar, multinational corporations operate. You’re out of your league, junior. Brush up your resume. The preowned Kia Dealer that you’ll be applying at soon will want to review and confirm your work history. Lucky for you, they’ll be no one there to answer the phone.
This is a sad statement, because minus the sarcasm, it’s absolutely true. There is and always has been illegal collusion between our two entities almost since their inception and the FTC turns a blind eye intentionally because of the massive lobbying power that has been wielded. This is the final solution to the independent lab problem. The question has been answered.
quest is just a middleman. Overbilling lawsuits left and right because smaller in house labs just run the fricking confirmation first round instead of tacking on more and more bills and sending patients to collections!!! And your 48,000 employees cant even answer the damn phone or get back to anyone without a few days notice. My doctors hate quest but are literally cartelled into being stuck with us!
