Our Philosophy

When diagnosed with a medical condition, lab tests are usually one of the first step in understanding the problem. Being uninsured at the same time puts the patient in an almost impossible situation.

1) The patients sense of reasoning is clouded by the news of the illness.

2) The discomfort from the illness creates a sense of urgency and a desperation to treat the problem.

Patients in this situation are not in a frame of mind to price shop or understand the intricacies of medical coding and often go with the first lab referred to without fully understanding the costs associated. They later face high costs at the back end.

Our organization was founded as a trusted resource for the uninsured to assist them in this time of need. The program aims to make scheduling lab tests quick, easy and very affordable with no surprises.

Our History

The organization started of as ColonoscopyAssist, a colon cancer screening program that assisted uninsured individuals to receive affordable colonoscopies. For many years, the program worked with laboratories all over the country to offer affordable pathology and lab work to patients that needed follow up tests after their colonoscopy. In 2019, the offering was formalized under LaboratoryAssist and opened up to the public.
