Our ConsultDX pathology consulting services enable Aurora to analyze your practice needs and design a unique laboratory partnership that fits your specific practice goals.

Aurora Diagnostics take great pride in its pillars of Trust, Innovation, and Service. We offer both traditional pathology models as well as a variety of esoteric/subspecialty services. Our laboratory is able to assist you in evaluating the dynamics of your practice and in structuring an arrangement that will provide a progressive approach to the many challenges you face.

Recent reimbursement trends in the medical field have led many physicians to evaluate alternative business models for their practices. Pathology services, often viewed as ancillary services, have become a major area of focus. Many dermatologists have found that performing these services in-house, i.e., by hiring their own pathologist, provides many advantages to their practices.
These advantages include the following:

• Increased control over the quality of diagnostic readings
• Face-to-face consultations with the pathologist, permitting collaboration to provide
better patient care
• Faster turnaround time for the receipt of laboratory results
• Generation of increased revenue from the in-house pathology services

In the world of ever-changing government regulations, the Technical Component/Professional Component (TC/PC) model is often viewed as the easiest, low-risk model to implement. Aurora Diagnostics performs the TC of processing your specimens, while your practice performs the PC of reading and interpreting the slides. Our laboratory is able to assist your practice throughout the implementation process. Moreover, we will gladly serve as a resource with pathology recruitment, insurance credentialing, and logistics.

As "Physician’s Physicians", we are committed to your patients’ care by providing diagnostics, prognostic, and therapeutic information quickly and accurately – written in the language of the clinician. Our pathologists are members of the local medical communities we serve – physicians who you personally know and with whom you can immediately consult regarding your patients’ care. Our personalized approach means you experience the highest quality, customized services available in your local medical community.

Our expertise in integrating relevant technologies means that you and your patient always have access to cutting-edge laboratory procedures, e.g., immunohistochemistry (IHC), flourescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and gene rearrangement, thus providing you the information you need to achieve the best possible treament results. Our practices include some of the most experienced and renowned pathologists in the U.S.A. – experts on whom you may rely for assistance in achieving your practice goals.

As valued partners, our referring physicians receive more than mere pathology services. ConsultDX provides a holistic approach to our physician partners, including a wide range of specialized services, tools, and innovative technology solutions.
