- (1) A clinical laboratory is a facility for the biological, microbiological, serological, chemical, immunohematological, hematological, biophysical, cytological, pathological, or other examination of materials derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of any disease or impairment of, human beings. These examinations also include procedures to determine, measure, or otherwise describe the presence or absence of various substances or organisms in the body. Facilities only collecting or preparing specimens (or both) or only serving as a mailing service and not performing testing are not considered clinical laboratories. (2) Any facility that examines materials from the human body for purposes of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of any disease or impairment of, or the assessment of, the health of human beings. Typical divisions of a clinical laboratory include hematology, cytology, bacteriology, histology, biochemistry, medical toxicology, and serology.

The provider has delivered many of the services listed below to Medicare patients. Please note that this list does not include services provided to patients who are not covered by Medicare.
Beta 2 glycoprotein 1 antibody (autoantibody) measurement
Blood test, clotting time
Cardiolipin antibody (tissue antibody) measurement
Clotting factor viii (ahg) measurement
Clotting factor x assessment test, diluted
Phospholipid test
Thrombin time, fibrinogen screening test, plasma
Thromboplastin inhibition (circulating anticoagulant) measurement
The Beta 2 Glycoprotein 1 Antibody measurement is a blood test that helps detect certain autoantibodies. These autoantibodies can cause blood clots or pregnancy complications. The test aids in diagnosing conditions like antiphospholipid syndrome.
This service was performed 45 times for 12 patientsA clotting time blood test helps determine how quickly your blood forms clots, a process crucial to stop bleeding. During the test, a small blood sample is taken from your arm. The sample is then analyzed in a lab to see how long it takes for a clot to form.
This service was performed 16 times for 13 patientsCardiolipin antibody measurement is a blood test that checks for certain antibodies in your body. These antibodies might be present if you have an autoimmune disease, a condition where your body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells. This test helps in diagnosing and managing such conditions.
This service was performed 40 times for 14 patientsClotting Factor VIII (AHG) measurement is a blood test to check the levels of Factor VIII, a protein that helps blood to clot. This test is often used to diagnose and manage bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia A. Low levels may indicate a risk of excessive bleeding.
This service was performed 18 times for 15 patientsThe Clotting Factor X Assessment Test, diluted, is a blood test to evaluate the performance of Factor X, a protein vital for blood clotting. It helps identify any abnormalities which could lead to excessive bleeding or clotting.
This service was performed 16 times for 13 patientsA phospholipid test is a blood test that helps detect abnormal antibodies related to your immune system. These antibodies may increase the risk of blood clots. The test aids in diagnosing conditions like lupus and other autoimmune disorders.
This service was performed 16 times for 13 patientsThrombin time is a blood test that measures how long it takes for a clot to form in your blood. The fibrinogen screening test checks the level of fibrinogen, a protein that helps in clot formation. Plasma is the liquid part of your blood that carries cells and proteins.
This service was performed 16 times for 13 patientsThromboplastin Inhibition Measurement is a blood test that helps determine how well your body's clotting process is working. It checks for substances that may prevent your blood from clotting, which could lead to excessive bleeding.

NPI Number Validation
How NPI Validation Works
The NPI validation process uses the ISO-standard Luhn algorithm, a mathematical "handshake", to ensure that a provider's 10-digit ID is authentic and free of common typing errors.
To verify the NPI 1306489323, we treat the final digit (3) as the Check Digit—the target answer we need to reach. The process begins by taking the first nine digits and adding a constant value of 24, which accounts for the "80840" prefix required for all U.S. health identifiers. We then double every other digit starting from the right and sum the individual digits of those results together. For this specific NPI, that total comes to 67. The final step is to find the difference between that total and the next multiple of ten (70 - 67 = 3).
Digit-by-digit view
Use the first nine digits for the calculation. Starting from the right, double every other digit. The last digit is the check digit and is not part of the calculation.
Step 1: Double every other digit from the right
Starting with the rightmost digit of the first nine digits, double every other value. If doubling creates a two-digit number, add those digits together.
Step 2: Add all digits plus the NPI constant
Add the transformed values, the unchanged digits, and the constant 24.
Step 3: Find the amount needed to reach the next multiple of 10
The next multiple of ten after 67 is 70. The difference is the calculated check digit.
