Take Back Control of Your Practice with LigoLab's Sub-Licensing Arrangement

Here’s a recent example of how a laboratory leveraged sub-licensing of LigoLab’s LIS laboratory information system software to extend value to its own client network.

The President and CEO of a rapidly growing Illinois-based laboratory had previously partnered with LigoLab to deliver advanced laboratory billing solutions to physician practices nationwide. Through this partnership, those practices were able to regain operational and financial control by using LigoLab’s unified laboratory information system and laboratory revenue cycle management (lab RCM) platform.

LigoLab CEO Suren Avunjian announced the details of the expanded partnership, highlighting the speed and impact of the implementation.

“The lab needed a robust anatomic pathology LIS system workflow and modern laboratory billing solutions to position its partner laboratories for aggressive growth,” said Avunjian. “We had them live on our comprehensive LIS system platform within a week. The group was highly motivated to move quickly because they already had contracts in place and customers ready to be serviced.”

A Vision for Growth Enabled by a Unified LIS System Platform

Avunjian explained that the lab CEO quickly recognized LigoLab’s vision for empowering clinical laboratories and pathology groups to grow and thrive through a single, comprehensive laboratory information system platform. From the outset, he saw the opportunity to scale his business rapidly and extend his service model to customers by leveraging LigoLab’s client-friendly sub-licensing agreement.

As a forward-thinking LIS company, LigoLab, derived from the Latin word ligo, meaning “to unite,” enables its clients to sub-license the full capabilities of its all-in-one informatics platform (medical LIS + lab RCM) to their own customers at no additional cost. This unique approach gives LigoLab clients the flexibility, at their sole discretion, to deliver advanced laboratory information system functions and modern lab billing software capabilities to partner practices, extending value across their entire customer network.

Sub-Licensing Opens the Door to New Growth Opportunities for Pathology Groups

This sub-licensing agreement has empowered the CEO to engage large pathology groups seeking greater control over their operations and financial performance. By partnering with him and leveraging the LigoLab platform, these groups gain access to a unified LIS medical solution that supports independence, scalability, and long-term growth.

“I have an 18-physician pathology lab that I’m about to sign,” the CEO said. “In a partnership like this, they can start putting revenue back into their own pockets instead of seeing it flow to large hospital systems or big corporate laboratories.”

Taking Back Control in a Shifting Laboratory Landscape

Taking control of laboratory operations has become increasingly critical given the current dynamics of the lab industry. As the CEO explained, financial power has steadily shifted away from physician-led practices.

“If you look at how the scales are tipped, it’s medical device companies, insurance companies, pharmaceutical firms, and large corporate laboratories capturing most of the revenue,” he said. “Physicians are doing everything they can just to stay viable, and it isn’t easy. That’s why the goal is to drive more revenue back into physician practices.”

He added that the advanced capabilities built into the LigoLab platform have opened doors to discussions with additional large physician groups seeking greater operational and financial autonomy.

“It’s a highly technical LIS system with tremendous depth,” the CEO noted. “You can customize the LIS software any way you need to. It’s agile, scalable, and built for growth. We expect to triple our daily specimen volume within six months, so we needed an LIS system platform with the power and capacity to support that kind of rapid expansion.”

A Scalable Partnership Model Built for Rapid Growth

For LigoLab and Avunjian, both the strategic plan and the projected volume growth underscore the strength and scalability of the LIS system software platform. The model demonstrates how LigoLab’s technology enables partners to expand confidently while maintaining operational control.

“His lab delivers the laboratory billing services along with frontline support and training for partner laboratories,” Avunjian explained. “We provide the full LIS software platform, ongoing support, and technical expertise, enabling him to focus on rolling out the solution and scaling the business.”

A Flexible, Scalable, and Cost-Effective Laboratory Information System Software Platform

LigoLab’s sub-licensing agreement provides clinical labs and pathology practices a flexible, cost-effective way to access a comprehensive laboratory information system and laboratory revenue cycle management platform, without the burden of a large upfront investment in clinical and pathology lab software ownership. This model is intentionally designed to support the operational efficiency, financial stability, and scalable growth needs of today’s pathology practices.

Cost Efficiency
Rather than requiring significant capital expenditures, LigoLab’s sub-licensing model shifts costs to predictable operational expenses. Practices gain access to enterprise-grade medical LIS technology without prohibitive startup costs, making advanced capabilities attainable for smaller or budget-conscious organizations.

Built-In Scalability
Sub-licensing allows clinical labs and pathology practices to pay based on their size, scope, and testing volume. As demand increases, the LIS system scales seamlessly (without renegotiations, re-licensing, or disruptive platform changes).

Continuous LIS Software Updates
All sub-licensed LIS system platforms remain current with the latest features, performance enhancements, and regulatory updates. Practices benefit from continuous innovation without having to manage costly or time-consuming upgrade cycles on their own.

Comprehensive Support and Training
The agreement includes access to LigoLab’s customer support, training resources, and technical expertise, ensuring practices can optimize LIS system usage and resolve issues quickly.

Enhanced Productivity and Workflow Optimization
Sub-licensing unlocks advanced capabilities that streamline day-to-day operations, including:

• Automated laboratory workflow management to simplify case processing from accessioning through final reporting
• Customizable reporting tailored to client preferences and regulatory requirements
• Integrated laboratory billing and lab RCM to ensure accurate charge capture and efficient reimbursement

Focus on Core Clinical Priorities
By eliminating the need to manage LIS system infrastructure and software ownership, lab leadership can focus on what matters most: delivering high-quality diagnostic care and supporting patient outcomes.

Seamless Collaboration and Integration
The LigoLab platform supports integration with EHR systems and external diagnostic lab software, enabling smooth data exchange across the broader healthcare ecosystem and supporting coordinated, collaborative care.

By adopting LigoLab’s sub-licensing model, medical labs gain enterprise-grade technology, operational agility, and financial flexibility, empowering them to improve efficiency, reduce administrative burdens, and scale confidently in a rapidly evolving laboratory landscape.
