• SPECIFICITY Accurate microbial identification leads to targeted treatment.
• SPEED Same day results vs. 3-5 days for traditional urine cultures.
• ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE MARKERS Improves antimicrobial stewardship.

2. MAINTAIN INDEPENDENCE BY INCREASING REVENUE SIGNIFICANTLY THROUGH REVENUE SHIFTING FROM THE REFERENCE LAB TO THE PRACTICE.

• Stark Law Compliant: Complies with anti-kickback statutes.
• Medicare part B pays at 100%, Med Advantage Plans at 80%.
• No lab build-out, only 8 linear feet of counter space needed.
• Z-code procurement for required states.

3. BETTER PATIENT CARE LEADS TO BETTER OUTCOMES.

• CONVENIENCE Point of care, no third-party referral lab.
• TIMELY Results early in the care process.
• CORRECT MEDICATION Avoids two trips to the pharmacy.
