BABSON DIAGNOSTICS PARTNERS WITH CYNERGY
WELLNESS, INC.
Cynergy Wellness to provide clinician oversight
of BetterWay™ customer-initiated blood testing orders
Babson Diagnostics, a science-first health care technology
company, today announced a partnership with Cynergy Wellness, Inc.,
a privately-owned provider of nationwide physician services for
workplace screening and consumer health. Under the terms of the
partnership, Cynergy will provide clinician oversight services for
BetterWay™ blood testing orders initiated by customers.
Cynergy services include state-required prior authorization for
customer-initiated orders, test reviews to ensure tests are
clinically appropriate for a customer, and results assessment to
screen for test abnormalities or critical values and when
necessary, provide clinical guidance in a follow-up consultation
with the patient.
BetterWay blood testing needs only a pea-sized amount of blood
collected from a fingertip to produce medically accurate results
clinicians and patients can trust. Since BetterWay does not require
a phlebotomist to collect blood, Babson will partner with
innovative retailers to expand blood testing to pharmacies and
other convenient retail locations. The BetterWay test menu covers
the most frequently ordered tests for general health, wellness and
screenings.
“We are thrilled to partner with Cynergy Wellness as we launch
BetterWay,” said David Stein, chief executive officer of Babson
Diagnostics. “Our goal is to make blood testing accessible and
easy, and that starts with making it available to those consumers
who have a personal need for testing, in addition to clinical
practices. We are thrilled to have Cynergy join us in ensuring that
our customer-initiated testing is appropriate and useful.”
Cynergy provides Medical Review Officer expertise to help ensure
the integrity of the testing process – verifying legitimate medical
explanations, ensuring test accuracy and adherence to established
policies that protect safety for patients, and facilitating a
timely flow of test results to patients while protecting the
confidentiality of the testing information.
“We are proud to work with Babson Diagnostics in the launch of
BetterWay blood testing. Broader access to blood tests leads to
more individualized engagement in health and well-being. When we
deliver innovative testing solutions like BetterWay to a consumer,
a workplace, or a geographic population, we improve their health
and their overall utilization of healthcare resources,” said Angela
Moore, CEO of Cynergy.
BetterWay blood testing will launch in Texas later this
year.
