LigoLab’s Unique Pricing Model and Fully Integrated Medical LIS & Lab RCM Platform Empower Laboratories to Grow and Thrive
May 20, 2025
Los Angeles, CA – LigoLab, known industry-wide for its all-in-one laboratory information system software with advanced laboratory billing solutions, continues to make waves in the laboratory informatics industry by offering powerful, fully integrated pathology lab management software for medical laboratories of all sizes. By engaging in healthy competition with the best laboratory information system software vendors, LigoLab has carved out a strong position by leading in laboratory information systems/lab revenue cycle management innovation, and with its flexible, client-friendly tiered pricing structure.
Aligned LIS System Pricing: What This Means for LigoLab Customers
LigoLab has reimagined the traditional medical laboratory information system (medical LIS) pricing model to better support modern laboratories in a competitive, fast-evolving healthcare environment. Rather than requiring large upfront capital expenditures or locking customers into expensive and rigid licensing agreements, LigoLab uses a scalable, volume-based pricing structure that aligns with the growth trajectory of each lab it serves.
LigoLab’s tiered pricing LIS model is at the core of this approach, which adjusts according to laboratory testing volume. Instead of paying a prohibitive lump sum, labs are charged a modest per-test fee that decreases as test volume increases. This creates a cost structure that naturally scales with a lab’s growth and helps laboratory operators minimize financial risk while maintaining access to a powerful, all-in-one LIS software and lab revenue cycle management (lab RCM) platform.
Labs using LigoLab are no longer burdened by fixed support and maintenance fees that don't reflect their performance or current business stage. Instead, they can invest in a complete lab information system solution that grows with them, fueling operational efficiency, enhancing patient care, and driving profitability without overcommitting upfront capital.
Tailored LIS System Tiers to Fit Every Lab
LigoLab understands that no two labs are exactly alike. That’s why its platform is offered in multiple pricing tiers - each tailored to labs of varying sizes, complexities, and goals. This tiered structure ensures every lab gets the right support and functionality without overpaying for features they don’t yet need.
Essential Tier - Perfect for small pathology, molecular, or reference laboratories, the Essential Tier includes all the core features needed to manage daily operations efficiently. It’s an ideal starting point for labs looking for a cost-effective, scalable LIS system that can grow with their needs.
Professional Tier - Developed for mid-sized labs ready to expand, the Professional Tier introduces advanced workflow automation and seamless laboratory information system integration. This level is ideal for labs that need more functionality to support higher volumes and complexity, offering a balance between affordability and performance.
Advanced Tier - Designed for high-volume labs, the Advanced Tier delivers exceptional speed, automation, and data insights. It’s engineered to handle complex laboratory information system/RCM process workflows without bottlenecks while supporting large-scale testing operations.
Enterprise Tier - Built for multi-site, enterprise-scale laboratories, this top-tier package includes everything in the Advanced Tier, plus enterprise-level medical LIS and laboratory billing system functionality and integration. It enables organizations to unify operations across multiple locations with unmatched scalability, customization, and control.

How OnePath Diagnostics Transformed Its Workflow with Digital Pathology and LigoLab
OnePath Diagnostics (OPDX), a forward-thinking pathology lab, has redefined its operations by integrating advanced digital pathology solutions with LigoLab’s modern laboratory information system software. Partnering with LigoLab and digital pathology provider Lumea, OPDX successfully streamlined its lab workflow, improved diagnostic accuracy, and enhanced both pathologist flexibility and patient outcomes. Learn how in this summary of a recent case study.
The Shift Toward Digital Pathology
For years, digital pathology adoption was slow due to cost, lack of standardization, and skepticism over image fidelity. According to LigoLab CEO Suren Avunjian, that’s no longer the case.
“Today, 19 out of 20 labs that approach us ask about digital pathology integration,” he said.
LigoLab has long championed this evolution, pioneering LIS systems and digital pathology integration more than 15 years ago.
Thanks to advancements in scanner technology, cloud storage, and AI, digital pathology is now practical and affordable. “AI-assisted diagnostics, paired with a fully integrated LIS pathology solution, are transforming how pathologists work - faster, more accurately, and from anywhere,” Avunjian added.

OnePath’s Vision for Scalable, Remote Diagnostics
Facing challenges like workforce shortages, rising costs, and stagnant reimbursements, OPDX needed a scalable solution. Westley Bernhardt, OPDX Managing Partner, viewed digital pathology as the key.
“It lets us deliver the best subspecialist pathologists to everyone who needs them - faster and more reliably,” he said.
To realize this vision, OPDX chose to work with LigoLab and Lumea. Together, they built a tightly integrated, bidirectional pathology software solution. As cases are ordered in Lumea, they flow directly into LigoLab’s platform for diagnosis, sign-out, and automated lab billing - no duplicate data entry, no delays.
Impact on Pathologists and Patient Care
The results have been transformative. Dr. Sheva Khalafbeigi, a dermatopathologist at OPDX, praised the system’s flexibility and performance.
“The images are crisp and easy to navigate. I can focus on quality patient care without wasting time,” she said.
The platform has also improved her work-life balance and reduced geographic barriers to collaboration.
Perhaps most importantly, rural hospitals and clinics that once lacked subspecialist access can now benefit from remote diagnoses by top-tier experts.
A Platform Built for the Future
OPDX is just getting started. Its roadmap includes expanding AI use for grossing and histology, integrating with more lab vendors, and growing its diagnostic network nationwide.
“With digital pathology, geography no longer limits care,” said Bernhardt. “We’re building a model that scales, supports pathologists, and ensures better outcomes for patients everywhere.”
This case study underscores the power of combining next-generation LIS software with digital pathology. Together, LigoLab and OPDX are leading the way into a more connected, efficient, and accessible future for diagnostics.
