The Most Experienced Laboratory Consulting Firm In The U.S.

The nation's first team of clinical laboratory consultants began serving the hospital clinical laboratory industry in 1974. In that year Dr. Jack Mattice assembled a group of the top lab professionals in the nation, consisting mostly of V.P.- level clinical lab administrators and managers from among the largest and most successful laboratories in the U.S.

Dr. Mattice asked those experts to participate in a new venture --- provision of high-quality clinical laboratory consultant services to the nation's hospitals. Nobody had done that before.

Today, nearly 40 years later, hundreds of hospital lab managers and administrators have saved millions of dollars by use of Mattice's lab consultants. To be a Mattice hospital lab consultant, the candidate must be a respected lab specialist at the top of his or her profession. Every Mattice laboratory consultant is the very best!

The Lowest-Cost Lab Consulting Approach

Our business approach is not to keep a group of hospital lab consultants on-staff. That would be far too expensive, and those costs would be reflected in high consulting costs.

We do it differently --- when we need a specialist (operations, IT, design, outreach, etc.), we contact our team of experts and pick the right lab consultant to fit the unique needs of a single client. Without a full-time staff of consultants, we keep our overhead low so we can keep our charges low --- our clients win! As a result our costs tend to be 30-50% lower than other lab consulting firms. Mattice clients buy the nation's top clinical lab consultants at the lowest possible cost. We think that makes good sense.

Comprehensive Capabilities

With nearly 40 years of hospital lab consulting experience, we've developed expertise in all areas of the hospital laboratory, including lab financial management, cost-reduction, lab administration, space design, staffing, vendor selection and negotiations, automation, lab logistics, lab outreach marketing, recruiting for key personnel, lab mergers and consolidations, interim laboratory management, billing and most other specialties. Whatever your need, we have the right laboratory consultant.

No-Risk Programs

GPO-based reference lab fee levels are frankly terrible. If you are operating under a GPO fee schedule, you are paying 30-45% too much for your reference lab tests.

We negotiate huge savings for our clients. For many of our reference lab cost-saving programs, we take all the risk. The client simply sends us a recent summary of charges, and Mattice's reference lab vendor expert analyzes every test, compares each with the fees we commonly negotiate for our clients, and presents the findings to the client. All at no charge or commitment. Only if the client wants us to negotiate the lower-cost fees do we share in the savings. Win-win. No cost. No risk.

"No Net Cost" Guarantee

Laboratory consultants should never be a net cost to their clients. We believe that and we guarantee that every Mattice client will save costs that substantially exceed our fees, or we will refund the difference. You alone are the judge.

We've been offering this guarantee for over 30 years, and we've never been asked to refund a nickel.
