State of Mid-Atlantic Labs

[anonymous]

It is all useless. NJ Comptroller, DOJ, IRS and others have all taken their shots at NJ labs like Ammon, MedScreen, SDX, etc. They fine them and get millions back, but the labs are still around. All these labs do illegal things like: reflex every drug screen to 2 confirms a month regardless of +/-, kickback money to clients, give FT collectors in office for 10 tests a day and have that collector perform work for client, bill Medicare for Methadone patients even though it is no allowed, and the worst one is getting clients to order 8-10 drug screens a month regardless of medical necessity and then paying off client to do it. It is all hopeless. The Comptroller is useless in finding the real crimes. They audited TT, but never connected TT violated AKS by paying for client's staff to go to CEU courses in Las Vegas. That is a blatant kickback and criminal. Every sample from that client now becomes fraudulent. They should have reported this to the DOJ and filed criminal charges against all owners like they did with EL and RDX. Nothing will ever change until the auditors figure out little billing issues are nothing, but kickback crimes are huge. These labs are like cockroaches- very difficult to kill!

They’re still around, but at what cost?

Rumors circulating: multiple NJ labs are for sale or merging with other labs. SDX already sold to Mako so they are out. Any other potential news on the horizon? Something has to drop soon. All these labs are in serious financial trouble and with maybe 12 months before they are out of business!

Forget labs selling. Rumors flying a new round of audits are coming for all the labs not currently under audit. This will be the final nail in the coffin for all these tox labs!

We’ve all been on the topic of them all being finally nailed, but is this really going to be just that? It seems like these labs have survived somehow, even though we all know they should’ve been closed.
