LabCorp provides me with free lab supplies to draw blood in my office. They brought me a computer connected directly to their server anfd a printer to print their lab. I pay for nothing. We draw blood using their supplies and send it to LabCorp. LabCorp bills the patient. We make no money from lab except for the drawing fee which is nothing. This is a contract. There is nothing in the contract about the bridge. The brigde was a program installed on my main computer which pulled demographic data from Amazing Charts database and sent them through the router directly to the LabCorp computer, attached to my router. LabCorp had to contact Amazing Charts support to installed this bridge. This bridge worked only one way, I didn't get any lab reports to my computer. The lab reports were still sent to the LabCorp computer via dial-up connection paid by LabCorp, and printed out on LabCorp printer in my office. I have a simple pier-to-pier network, and the bridge, constantly pulling demographic data from my Amazing Charts database, slowed it down a lot. LabCorp explained it by the fact that the bridge was set up to pull data upon each change, but it was still slow after they changed the settings, so I simply disconnected it.
