A Toxicology Testing Model That Addresses Your Needs
Provide a best-in-class toxicology model that benefits the health of both your patients and your practice.
While there are many different solutions for monitoring and toxicology testing, there has never been an option that truly strives to create a long lasting partnership that puts your practice first to increase your revenue, maximize your efficiency, and all the while maintain the highest in testing standards.
Until now. Recently, the CDC has described the United States as being in an epidemic due to the number of emergency room visits caused by pain medication overdoses. The numbers are staggering – a 400% increase in the number of deaths of females related to prescription painkiller overdoses from 1999 to 2010, more than 6,600 deaths per year, with a 265% increase in men, equal to over 10,000 deaths per year in the same time period.
It’s now more important than ever to proactively choose to implement toxicology testing. The benefits of testing include: the ability to improve patient treatment with a more accurate assessment of a patient’s condition, decrease abuse of prescribed medications, improve compliance, and testing establishes efficient treatment management.
Our priority is to work closely with you to understand your practice needs and only then, customize your toxicology solution. BACMAC will begin working with you by first developing an understanding of the scope of your practice, listening to your individual needs/requests, and then implementing a solution that will grow with your practice and establish a long-lasting partnership.
Partner with BACMAC for Lab Services
We provide a full-service lab providing the best-in-class, industry-leading Urine Drug Screening confirmation services. Our services are based out of Oklahoma City, OK and we provide service to the entire United States.
We’re committed to exceeding your needs for drug monitoring and compliance programs, and our goal is to create a long-lasting relationship that provides you with comprehensive, clinical, and quantitative urine drug testing through our unparalleled service and support.
In order to continue to lead the industry, our test panels are constantly expanding in order to stay current with new medications, illicit drugs, and controlled substances. Our advanced screening techniques utilize Liquid Chromatography coupled with Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The results of the screen are available through a secured web portal or through scan/fax.
Advanced Toxicology Results
A Unique Model
In a heavily-regulated industry, we work to tailor our services to your specific needs while constantly and consistently adhering to state and federal guidelines. Our model has been developed to be dynamic, and adheres to the highest ethical standards while providing the best service and the highest return on investment.
We work with you to establish testing that fits the size of your clinic and the forms of insurance your patients have. The services we offer range from performing all the toxicology testing you require to helping you setup your own testing facilities. The vision you have for your practice will always be at the forefront.
How Do I Get Started?
BACMAC is working with Advanced Laboratory Services (ALS) to offer a unique approach to toxicology testing. ALS provides the opportunity for each clinic to become a partner in an in-state toxicology lab that ALS will set up, once at least eight clinics in that state are performing testing of approximately 75 samples/month. Profits are split evenly between the participating clinics, in order to satisfy the requirements of the anti-kickback statutes in place.
ALS is the industry leader in comprehensive urine drug confirmation testing for substance abuse programs and HCPs. Urine Drug Screening (UDS) has been the gold standard of drug testing since its inception, because the specimens offer a longer detection window and metabolites are more frequently found in urine. Screening consists of cups, tubes, labels, paperwork, and shipping materials. A clinic will either have a Laboratory Services Assistant (LSA) perform the screening or staff will be trained.
A clinic begins their partnership with BACMAC/ALS under an evaluation period where ALS analyzes the insurance information, needs of the practice, sample volume, and then works to implement a solution that best serves the specific requirements of each practice. During this evaluation period an HCP orders the UDS and a urine sample is collected, packaged, and shipped to a central laboratory in Oklahoma. Unless otherwise specified, the sample will be analyzed for a standard 12-drug/metabolite panel. More drugs/metabolites may be ordered at the time of collection or even for a short period after the sample is shipped. ALS provides the clinic with results through a web portal, which the HCP logs into over a secure internet connection to retrieve the results.
Once an in-state Co-Op is set up between the participating clinics and ALS, all commercial insurance samples are sent to the in-state lab while Medicare samples will still be shipped to the ALS lab in Oklahoma.
