Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings (Labcorp), headquartered in Burlington, North Carolina, provides laboratory services used for diagnosis and healthcare decisions.[1] It operates one of the largest clinical laboratory networks in the world and has operations in over 100 countries; although its operations are primarily in the U.S.[1]

Its Diagnostics Laboratories segment operates 2,000 patient service centers (PSCs) with more than 6,000 in-office phlebotomists in the United States. In addition to healthcare testing such as oncology testing, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) genotyping and phenotyping, it provides testing for: employment, DNA testing to determine parentage and to determine immigration eligibility, environmental issues, wellness, toxicology, pain management, and medical drug monitoring. It also provides 50 tests that patients can complete at home. It processes over 160 million tests per year. Approximately 10% of the division's revenue are from Medicare.[1]

Its Biopharma Laboratory Services segment provides drug development, medical device and diagnostic development services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and diagnostic companies.[1] In 2023, this division provided support to 84% of the new drugs and therapeutic products approved by the Food and Drug Administration.[1]

Labcorp performs its largest volume of specialty testing at its Center for Esoteric Testing in Burlington, North Carolina.[2]

Labcorp was an early pioneer of genomic testing using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology at its Center for Molecular Biology and Pathology in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, where it also performs other molecular diagnostics. Labcorp operates the National Genetics Institute, Inc. (NGI), in Los Angeles, California, which develops PCR testing methods.[3]

1971-2000

[edit]

In 1971, Revlon acquired DCL BioMedical, a clinical laboratory business founded in 1968. In 1974, it changed its name to National Health Laboratories Incorporated. By 1977, it operated clinical testing laboratories in 13 cities and maintained auxiliary service centers and satellite laboratories in 15 other cities. In 1978, it acquired American Biomedical Corporation, giving it operations in the Southwestern United States and data processing technology. In 1985, Revlon was acquired by Ronald Perelman. Revlon divested its other businesses and a major stake in the company was acquired by MacAndrews & Forbes.[4]

In 1988, National Health Laboratories became a public company via an initial public offering on the NASDAQ exchange.[5]

In 1989, the company generated revenue of about US$400 million, with about US$70 million in earnings.[6]

In the early 1990s, worries about malpractice lawsuits led doctors to conduct more clinical testing before diagnosing, which increased business for the company.[4]

In 1990, the company's revenues reached US$500 million, with over US$70 million in earnings.[6]

In 1991, National Health Laboratories moved its listing from the NASDAQ to the New York Stock Exchange.[6]

On March 8, 1994, National Health Laboratories Inc. reorganized as a holding company, National Health Laboratories Holdings Inc.

In 1994, National Health Laboratories acquired Allied Clinical Laboratories.[10] The acquisition price was reduced to $204 million after federal officials issued subpoenas in an investigation of Medicare billing practices.[11][12][13]

In April 1995, Hoffmann-La Roche, a division of Roche, contributed Roche Biomedical Laboratories, Inc. and US$186.7 million in cash to National Health Laboratories Holdings, in exchange for 49.9% of the combined company.[14] Perelman received about US$100 million from the deal, which made the new company the largest blood-testing company in the United States.[9][10][15][16] The company changed its name to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings and relocated its headquarters to Burlington, North Carolina.[9]

In July 1998, Labcorp acquired the Michigan-based laboratory division of Universal Standard Healthcare (UHCI) and made an equity investment in the company. Labcorp also became UHCI's clinical laboratory long-term testing provider[17] but terminated this agreement in March 1999.[18]

Controversies

[edit]

Overbilling the government

[edit]

In 1992, the company was one of the first to be prosecuted as part of Operation Labscam, a nationwide crackdown on fraud in the healthcare system initiated by the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Diego, California. The company and others were accused of routinely submitting false claims to Medicare and Medicaid for unnecessary tests on blood samples that physicians had never ordered. In addition, charges for the tests billed to the government were significantly higher than what the company charged private insurers.[78] That year, the company agreed to pay $111 million to settle claims.[79] In November 1996, the company agreed to pay a total of $182 million as a result of the investigation.[80]

In February 2023, the company paid $19 million to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act of 1863 by its submission of false claims to Medicare.[81]

Conflicts of interest

[edit]

In 2012, Labcorp was criticized for its practice of paying the salaries of genetic counselors in hospitals and doctors' offices, which is perceived to be a possible conflict of interest.[82]

Data breaches

[edit]

In July 2018, Labcorp's servers were affected by a variant of the SamSam ransomware, with the goal of locking or disabling computers and servers to prevent access to data. The attack resulted in delays, but no data was believed to have been stolen. The malware was blocked on the network by midnight on July 14, 2018.[83][84][85]

Faulty paternity tests

[edit]

Labcorp has been criticized over faulty paternity tests, many of which have resulted in lawsuits. The most notable case was the 2005 false accusation of Washington hairdresser Andre Chreky, who spent $200,000 and years in court proving, despite a false-positive test, that he was not the father. In the trial, it was determined that only five people at Labcorp reviewed data and made paternity determinations, including during 10 hour shifts that required making determinations every 4 minutes.[86]

Sharing of patient data

[edit]

In 2024, Labcorp faced a class action lawsuit for allowing Google to collect confidential patient information such as appointments made and website login details.[87]

Labor concerns

[edit]

Employees have criticized the company's productivity goals, in which they say volume and speed of work done is prioritized over quality. Labs face staffing shortages and employees say they are overworked.[88]

Labcorp has been criticized for its process of having all employees terminated upon hospital laboratory management acquisitions, and making them reapply with LabCorp, thereby losing accrued employee benefits, including employee eligibility for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) in the case of non-profit hospitals.[89]

In 2024, Labcorp stated that its goal is to "operate the company in a non-union environment."[90] After Labcorp became the manager of laboratories of Legacy Health, outsourced laboratory personnel unionized with the Oregon Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals.[91]

Aircraft

[edit]

Labcorp (ICAO: SKQ, call sign: SKYLAB) utilizes a fleet of eight Pilatus PC-12 and a single Pilatus PC-24 aircraft on nightly runs from Burlington for use on the East Coast.[92] Prior to the acquisition of PC-12 aircraft Labcorp utilized seven PA-31-350s.
