about
patient forward out of Nashville, TN works with clinics in a number of different ways to help optimize lab testing. We build out & set-up custom labs from the ground up and provide extensive test menus. This allows clinics to improve patient care, recapture lab revenue and boost retention. With testing done in-house, real-time results are delivered instead of sending out to reference labs.
We also work with labs throughout the
country for critical testing. Through our lab partners, there’s no balance-billing; patients won’t ever get collection notices and calls like they do with one of the giant lab companies. Our goal with any clinic is not to focus on prescriptions but to find alternative, non-opioid based treatment options. Comprehensive diagnostics provide crucial information to move forward.
We provide the flexibility to work with multiple lab vendors for various tests. That helps to maximize reimbursements, free patients from out-of-pocket costs and allow clinics to work with one company instead of multiple ones. Internally, tests are placed with specific labs for each clinic based on their individual needs such as the type of testing, volume and payor mix.
Ultimately, patient forward is a medical consultant with access to numerous labs, multiple lab service lines, lab equipment and various product lines. We have the ability to move around within the space and act as a distributor which creates a unique opportunity in the market. Designing & creating custom labs and making in-house testing available for clinics is our specialty. That in turn provides more opportunities for clients and better care for patients.
