Behind every Prime Path report is an assay we built, a director who reads it, and one question we’re actually answering: what happens next for your patient.
Molecular, genomic, and toxicology testing — interpreted, not just measured.
Why physicians send us specimens
Four reasons, and none of them are adjectives.
We compete on things you can verify before you ship a single specimen.
Panels aligned to CMS coverage policy
We build our urine drug screening and infectious disease panels against current CMS coverage policy — not against what a panel could theoretically include. Fewer denials, cleaner claims, less time your staff spends on appeals.
Talk to the person who signed the report
Our toxicologists and molecular pathologists are available to discuss results directly. Not a call center. Not a ticket queue. The scientist who reviewed your patient's specimen.
Your patient's data never leaves this building
Sequencing, bioinformatics, secondary analysis, interpretation, and reporting are all performed in-house by Prime Path staff. We do not outsource specimen processing, data analysis, or reporting to third parties.
Named accountability
Every report is issued under CLIA #06D2341973, from a laboratory directed by Wenbing Chen, Ph.D., NRCC-certified in Toxicological Chemistry. You always know whose lab ran the test.
Resulted in time to matter
Turnaround times
| Testing category | Turnaround time |
|---|---|
| Toxicology | 24 hours |
| Infectious Disease (PCR) | 24–48 hours |
| Pharmacogenomics (PGx) | 5–7 business days |
| Genetic & Genomic (NGS) | 7–10 business days |
Turnaround time is measured from specimen receipt at our Denver facility. Times may extend if reflex testing is clinically indicated.
