Lab services that add more than just clinical value.
Toxicology
Toxicology has become a large part of many practices that prescribe scheduled narcotics. Accord Health offers services from several different reference labs that utilize novel business models to help the practitioner add a revenue stream to their practice. These labs offer comprehensive toxicology services, while keeping patient costs down and testing for only what is medically necessary.
Some of these turn-key services include
- Comprehensive toxicology testing
- CLIA/COLA accreditations
- Immuno assay tabletop analyzers
- LC/MS (instruments, validation, reagents, and billing)
Hormone Therapy Testing
According to the JOAA, opioid-induced endocrinopathy should be considered in any patient receiving daily opioid treatment in an amount equivalent to 100 mg of morphine or more.
The fact of the matter is, patients on chronic opiates often suffer from lower hormone levels and some type of endocrinopathy. At Accord Heath, we help physicians with diagnostic options to test for these hormone levels, as well as educate physicians on potentially appropriate therapies.
Genetic Testing
In many cases, patient care can be improved by genetic testing in order to determine a patient's ability to metabolize certain drugs and using this information to guide medication management . This can lead to increased efficacy in proper drug selection, dose optimization, and a minimization of adverse drug reactions.
Accord Health works with several different reference labs strategically located in different areas of the country. This allows us to keep up with an ever evolving reimbursement climate, as it relates to pharmacogenetics.
