Our Mission:

To establish high standards of excellence for the delivery of low cost, high-quality laboratory screening services directly to consumers.

 

 

What is Physician-Assisted
Direct Access Testing?

Consumers are taking charge of their own health through “wellness” for prevention and early detection. Managed care companies as well as Medicare and Medicaid have refused to pay for tests without “symptoms of disease”, which eliminates Wellness for most consumers.

The increased education and awareness has created demand for medical services accessed directly. 

Physicians are not, however, left out of the loop. Direct Access Testing (DAT) companies have licensed Physicians on staff to write orders, review results, and follow-up when necessary.  Intervention includes referral to ones primary care physician for diagnosis and treatment.

The tremendous upsurge in national media attention on DAT prompted companies providing direct-to-consumer laboratory services to form an organization of  DAT’s to establish standards of excellence and assure high quality screening services along with the low cost.
