Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Low-Cost labs w/ AC interface

Are any of the labs with AC interfaces a "low-cost" lab? Similar to Directlab or Private MD Labs, neither of which have an AC interface. Just looking for lower-cost lab services for uninsured patients, or for patients that see us on an out-of-network basis. But would like to still have the lab results downloaded if possible.

I know that LabCorp, Bioreference and Quest all have discounted rate programs for people without insurance. Although we don't use Quest in our office due to issues with getting them to address the lack of interface from there amongst other things, we have been using Bioreference and LabCorp without issue for our uninsured patients for a while now.

Hope there's not too much dust here but we are considering BioReference for a very small volume of patients. I was wondering how well BioReference's interface works with AC? Does anybody else have experience with them?

As you mentioned, Shankar, we too have issues with Quest, and if BioReference's isn't going to be 100% seamless (Ok, 99%) then I don't want to bother installing their interface. We can just manually retrieve labs or get them faxed to us.
