IBC has selected Laboratory Corporation of America
® Holdings (LabCorp) as our exclusive national outpatient laboratory provider effective July 1, 2014.
The IBC network will also include other currently contracted laboratories that will remain in our network in addition to LabCorp.Why we made this decision
Health care is undergoing rapid, remarkable change, spurred by implementation of the health care reform law, an increasing focus on the individual consumer, and continuing cost pressures. After a lengthy evaluation process, we chose LabCorp as our exclusive national outpatient laboratory provider. This initiative will provide significant savings for the benefit of our customers without affecting quality. In addition, it will create an important strategic partnership with a leading national laboratory, which allows for enhanced clinical initiatives.

In addition to LabCorp, the IBC network will also continue to include other currently contracted laboratories (see list below).
