LabFinder Privacy Policy
Last updated February 4th, 2025
BY USING OUR LF SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS PRIVACY POLICY. THIS PRIVACY POLICY IS INCORPORATED INTO AND FORMS PART OF OUR TERMS OF USE. WE WILL PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY BASED ON LEGITIMATE INTERESTS, CONTRACTUAL NECESSITY, LEGAL OBLIGATIONS, AND/OR YOUR EXPLICIT CONSENT WHERE REQUIRED. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU CANNOT USE THE LF SERVICE. IF YOU USE THE LF SERVICE ON BEHALF OF SOMEONE ELSE OR AN ENTITY (SUCH AS YOUR COMPANY OR EMPLOYER), YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE AUTHORIZED BY SUCH INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY TO ACCEPT THIS PRIVACY POLICY ON SUCH INDIVIDUAL’S OR ENTITY’S BEHALF. MINORS SHOULD NOT USE THE LF SERVICE.
What does the Privacy Policy cover?
As used in this Privacy Policy, LabFinder has the same meaning as set forth in our Terms of Use. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that LabFinder does not own or control or to people that LabFinder does not employ or manage. LabFinder may be referred to in this Privacy Policy as “we,” “us,” “our” and “ourselves.” The terms “website”, “services” and the like similarly mean the LF Services. Any capitalized term used but not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the same meaning as in our underlying Terms of Use.
Unless otherwise stated, this Privacy Policy applies to personally identifiable information collected on the LabFinder website and/or through the LabFinder e-mail or contact system. It does not apply to any other information collected by LabFinder by any other means.
This Privacy Policy applies to personally identifiable information collected on and after the date that this Privacy Policy is posted. However, for any LabFinder Users who registered on our website prior to this date, we will apply this Privacy Policy to personally identifiable information associated with that account for continued access to and use of the LF Service, whether or not the User is specifically prompted to accept changes/additions.
The term “personally identifiable information” means information that identifies a particular individual or enables a party to contact an individual, and includes the individual’s name, postal address, e-mail address and telephone number as well as the Personal Information defined below. Personally identifiable information is sometimes referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Personal Information” whether or not the words are capitalized.
General Information
While our services are based in New York, as a US user and subject to certain limitations under US privacy laws, if you reside in a State governed by additional privacy protections you may have choices regarding our use and disclosure of your Personal Information. In addition to your rights under the Privacy Policy, your other rights may include:
Exercising the right to know: You have a right to request additional information about the categories of Personal Information collected, sold, disclosed, or shared; purposes for which this Personal Information was collected, sold, or shared; categories of sources of Personal Information; and categories of third parties with whom we disclosed or shared this Personal Information.
Exercising the right to opt-out from a sale or sharing: We do not transfer your Personal Information to third parties in exchange for payment. However, as noted below, we may provide the data to third party partners, such as advertising partners, analytics providers, and social networks, who assist us in advertising our products and Services to you. Because these third parties may use the data we provide for their own purposes, our provision of data to these parties may be considered a data “sale” or “sharing” as those terms are defined under certain State Specific Statutes and/or applicable US privacy laws. You can opt-out of targeted advertising and any related data “sales” or “sharing” by adjust consent preferences via blue CookieYes button in the lower left corner. Please also see our Cookie Notice.
Google Analytics: You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Services available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity. For more information, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page.
Exercising the right to limit the use or sharing of Sensitive Personal Information: We do not sell or share Sensitive Personal Information as defined by US privacy laws and have not done so in the past twelve (12) months. We use Identifiers and Location Data for the purposes set out below, including, without limitation, for providing our Services, complying with legal obligations, and other purposes consistent with your consent and applicable law.
How do we collect the personally identifiable information of our users?
LabFinder may collect certain personal identifiable information through a variety of means and sources about users who visit, contact, sign up/register for or otherwise use the LabFinder website/LF Service. For example, we collect such information in the following manners:
Information You Provide to Us
Much of the personally identifiable information we receive comes directly from users who are interested in signing up for the LF Service or who are interested in obtaining information, services or products from us. We collect personal information when you register on, complete a profile on or contact us through our website or when you e-mail us. We may also collect other types of information (non-identifiable information), such as gender, age, personal interests and medical or health-related information that we may associate with personally identifiable information.
When you access our website services, we may ask you to voluntarily provide us certain information that personally identifies (or could be used to personally identify) you (“Personal Information”). Personal Information includes (but is not limited to) the following categories of information: (1) identifiers and contact data (such as your e-mail address, phone number, and unique online identifiers); (2) demographic data (such as your gender, your date of birth and your zip code); (3) insurance data (such as your insurance carrier, insurance plan, member ID, group ID and payer ID); (4) health and medical data; (5) biometric information; (6) internet activity data; (7) geolocation data (such as the doctors or other health care providers you use, your reasons for care, your dates of visit, your medical history, and other medical and health information you choose to share with us, and (5) other information that you voluntarily choose to provide to us, including without limitation social security number, unique identifiers such as passwords, and Personal Information in emails, contact submissions or letters that you send to us. You might still be able to access and use some of the LF Service if you choose not to provide us with any Personal Information, but the features of the LF Service that require your Personal Information will not be accessible to you. We may also collect additional information, which may be Personal Information, as otherwise described to you at the point of collection or pursuant to your consent.
Information Collected Through Technology
We may collect information through technology to make our website more useful to you and to track user web activity and interests. Our website may use “cookies,” which are pieces of information a website sends to your computer while you are viewing the website, for a variety of purposes. For example, when you return to our website after logging in, cookies may provide information to the site so that the site will remember who you are. We may also use information collected through web beacons, which are small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of websites, to analyze the traffic patterns on our website, such as the frequency with which our users visit various parts or pages of our website. We may also use these technical methods in HTML e-mails that we send to our users to determine whether our users have opened those e-mails and/or clicked on links in those e-mails.
You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. The Help feature on most web browsers provides information on how to accept cookies, disable cookies or to notify you when receiving a new cookie.
If you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some features of our LF Service and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
You may be able to engage in certain transactions without registering and logging on to our website. We refer to all of these transactions that you engage in without registering and logging on to our website as “Non-Registered Transactions.” When you engage in Non-Registered Transactions (in addition to those engaged in Registered User transactions), we may gather personally identifiable information, such as your computer’s IP address and other traffic data. We may automatically collect the following traffic data: (1) IP address; (2) domain server; (3) type of device(s) used to access the LF Service; (4) web browser(s) used to access the LF Service; (5) referring webpage or other source through which you accessed the LF Service; (6) geolocation information; and (7) other statistics and information associated with the interaction between your browser, mouse or device and the LF Service.
Mobile device identifiers are data stored on your mobile device that may track mobile device and data and activities occurring on and through the mobile device, as well as the applications installed on it. Mobile device identifiers enable collection of Personal Information (such as media access control, address and location) and traffic data. As with other tracking tools, mobile device identifiers help LabFinder learn more about our users’ demographics and internet behaviors.
We may manage and place advertisements on our website on behalf of third parties referred to herein as “network advertisers.” We may also use cookies and other technology to collect information when you click on or move your cursor over banner advertisements. Please note that once you have clicked on any such advertisement and have left our website, our Privacy Policy no longer applies and you must read the privacy policy of the advertiser to see how your personal information will be handled on its website or App. Advertisers or other third party companies will not have access to our own cookies or our other information-gathering technology.
Information That We Collect from Others
We may supplement personally identifiable information that we have collected directly from our users with other information that we obtain from third parties, such as Lab Users. If and when we associate any information that we obtained from third parties with personally identifiable information that we have collected under this Privacy Policy, we will treat the acquired information exactly like the information that we collected ourselves.
How is personally identifiable information used?
We will never rent, sell, disseminate or share personal information about you with non-affiliated companies or third parties other than to schedule your Lab Services and to secure and store relevant information derived from those services, except when we have your permission or under the circumstances set forth in detail below.
Personally identifiable information collected may be shared within and used by LabFinder, and its affiliated companies, subsidiaries and vendors for several purposes. For example, LabFinder may use your personal information to send you promotional materials about goods and services, including special offers and promotions, either offered by LabFinder or offered by third parties (sent by LabFinder on behalf of these third parties), including Lab Users. These promotional materials may be sent to you by online portal, postal mail, e-mail or other means.
We may also use your personal information for “Operational Uses,” such as to complete transactions requested by you (for example, insurance eligibility verification, Lab Service scheduling, Lab Services test result acquisition from Lab Users and storage for your access, and your purchase of or subscription to a product or service offered on our website or by a Lab User) or to send you administrative communications.
LabFinder may take your personally identifiable information that is associated with other information about you (i.e. demographic information including age, sex, etc.) and make it non-personally identifiable (“non-identifiable”) by removing all personally identifiable characteristics, such as your name, insurance identifiers, address, phone number, e-mail address, and any other personally identifiable characteristics.
At times, LabFinder may hire companies to help deliver products or services that you request from LabFinder. Examples of these companies may eventually include packaging, printing, mailing or delivery companies. In these instances, there may be a need to share your information with these companies to fulfill your requests. Unless stated otherwise, these companies are allowed to gather, receive and use your information only for the purposes described in this paragraph or as required by law.
LabFinder may contract with a third party to help manage and optimize our Internet business and communications. As described above, website tracking services help websites to measure the effectiveness of advertising and how visitors use a website through the use of web beacons and cookies provided by such company. The type of information we may collect includes, but is not limited to, the pages visited and links clicked by users. By supplementing our records, this information would help us to learn things such as what pages are most useful and attractive to our visitors and which of our tools and information most interest our visitors and users. Although the third party company would log the information coming from our website on our behalf, we would control how that data and information may and may not be used, though we cannot be responsible for misconduct, acts or omissions by such third parties and you hereby waive any claim against LabFinder for same, fully acknowledging the risk of using and registering for our LF Service.
LabFinder will also disclose personal information when it believes in good faith that such disclosures (a) are required by law, such as to comply with a court order or subpoena, or (b) will help to enforce our Terms, including, without limitation, this Privacy Policy; protect your safety or security, including the safety and security of property that belongs to you; and/or protect the safety and security of our website, LF Service, LabFinder and/or third parties, including the safety and security of property that belongs to LabFinder or third parties.
NOTICE REGARDING DE-IDENTIFICATION OF DATA: We may process, use, and share or sell de-identified and aggregated data for analytics, research, service improvement, and commercial purposes. Any de-identification of Personal Information or PHI will be performed in accordance with applicable law and industry standards. We will not attempt to re-identify such data or combine it with other data sets in a way that could lead to re-identification. You acknowledge that we may share or sell de-identified, aggregated data with third parties without notice to you and without compensation or other consideration due you.
In the event of a merger, sale or other new business reorganization, we may share your information during due diligence and may transfer the data to the new operator, including personally identifiable information, which may include PHI.
Phone Images, Files and/or Location
A User’s lab or radiology test booking process should be simple and easy. In order to provide a better User experience, by accepting our Terms, you grant us the right to access your geolocation in order to show the closest testing center location. This provides the most relevant results nearest to the User’s current location. A User can also input desired location search criteria in our customized search engine. For instance, the User can enter a zip code that is not near their current location to see locations in the other desired area. We may also access a user’s images and files in order to upload a doctor’s order efficiently from either a saved file in their phone or from a photo taken by their phone. The user gives permission to access such images/files and to share the location. Access is effective for as long as they have the App installed or until they turn off permissions in their phone settings. A user can turn off App access permission settings on their phone.
COVID-19 Testing
You can book a COVID-19 test quickly and easily through the LabFinder platform. All COVID-19 test results are confidential and shared only with the patient.
Labfinder.com is an online platform that provides a convenient and efficient way for individuals to locate and schedule various medical tests and screenings. While Labfinder.com offers COVID-19 testing as one of its services, it is important to note that it is not the primary focus of the platform. Instead, Labfinder.com serves as a comprehensive resource for finding and booking a wide range of medical tests, such as blood tests, urine tests, imaging scans, and more. By partnering with reputable laboratories and healthcare providers, Labfinder.com ensures that users can easily access the tests they need to monitor their health and make informed medical decisions. The platform offers a user-friendly interface where individuals can search for nearby testing facilities, compare prices and services, and schedule appointments at their convenience. With Labfinder.com, getting the necessary medical tests becomes a hassle-free process, empowering individuals to take control of their healthcare beyond just COVID-19 testing.
SMS/Text Communications
We may send communications to you on your mobile telephone by SMS or text message. Message and data rates from your mobile telephone service provider may apply and are subject to the terms and conditions imposed by your provider.
Options for Opting out of Cookies and Mobile Device Identifiers
Some web browsers allow you to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device. You may be able to reject mobile device identifiers by activating the appropriate setting on your mobile device. Note if you block or reject LabFinder’s cookies or mobile device identifiers, you may not have access to all features.
- You may opt out of receiving certain cookies and certain trackers by selecting the check box in My Profile section of the Consumer Dashboard. Please also see our Cookie Notice for additional information. You will need to opt out of each browser and device for which you desire to apply these opt-out features.
- Even after opting out of behavioral advertising, you may still see LabFinder advertisements not targeted toward you. Also, opting out does not mean that LabFinder is no longer using tracking tools as you continue to use our website/app, and may still serve advertisements to you via the services based on information it collects for provision of the website/app services.
Do Not Track Disclosure
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a preference you can set in certain web browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked. If a website operator receives a DNT signal, the website operator may refrain from collecting certain Personal Information about the browser’s user. You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences or Settings of your web browser although not all browsers offer a DNT option and there is currently no industry consensus as to what constitutes a DNT signal. Therefore, LabFinder does not take any action to respond to DNT signals.
HIPAA and PHI
Under a federal law called the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), some of the demographic, health and/or health-related information that LabFinder collects as part of providing the LF Service may be considered “protected health information” or “PHI”. Specifically, when LabFinder receives identifiable healthcare information about you from or on behalf of your healthcare providers and Lab User, this information is PHI. HIPAA provides specific protections for the privacy and security of PHI and restricts how PHI is used and disclosed. LabFinder will handle your PHI in accordance with HIPAA requirements, our Health Information Agreement, and any applicable Business Associate Agreements with Covered Entities and downstream or upstream contractors. We will only use and disclose your PHI as permitted by law and authorized by you, your healthcare providers, and applicable Lab Users.
You should note the following prior to using, registering for or accessing the LF Service:
- We may share your Personal Information with Lab Users with which you choose to schedule through the LF Services.
- We may share your Personal Information with your physician or other clinician to the extent you provide us with their contact information (using the name and contact information you provide or that they otherwise subsequently update with us), such as to to enable them to order or otherwise review results of your Lab Services.
- Lab Users will share PHI with us resulting from your use of the Lab Services, for subsequent access by you using the LF Service.
- We may use your Personal Information for the purposes of insurance verification, determining eligibility, co-pay, deductible, co-insurance and/or cost-sharing obligations, and otherwise obtaining benefit plan information. We may share the Personal Information with the insurance provider you identify to us, applicable plan administrator or their agent as well as the Lab User and their agent (including potentially via our third party vendor).
- We may share your Personal Information with our vendors who perform operational services (such as hosting, billing, fulfillment, data storage, security, user analytics and customized content and/or which make functionality, items, services and products available to our users through or otherwise via our LF Service).
- We do not sell email addresses to third parties. However, we may share your email address with service providers who assist us in delivering communications, including marketing messages, to you..
- We may transfer your information to another company in connection with a merger, sale, exchange of ownership, acquisition or other change of ownership or control by or of LabFinder (whether in whole or in part).
In addition, you have been or will be asked to e-sign a LabFinder Registered User Agreement the “LabFinder Agreement”) potentially including subsequent authorizations from time to time. Your decision to e-sign the LabFinder Agreement is voluntary but may govern the LF Service functionality available to you (or preclude registration to the extent inherent to our intended use and functionality). To the extent any provision in the LabFinder Agreement is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy or other provisions of the Terms of Use, then the provision in the LabFinder Agreement only controls with respect to your PHI.
Children’s Privacy
Our LF Service is not intended for anyone under the age of 16 (“Children”). We respect the privacy concerns of parents and guardians regarding Children and their possible use of this LF Service. LabFinder does not allow Children years 16 or younger to register or use this service, does not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Information from anyone under the age of 16, or knowingly allow such persons to register and/or use the Service. If you are under 16 please do not attempt to register for the LF Service and/or send any information about yourself to us including, but not limited to, your: name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under the age of 16 may provide Personal Information to us. In the event that we learn that we have collected Personal Information from someone under the age of 16 we will delete such information as quickly as possible. If you are a parent or guardian and you learn that your Children have provided us with Personal Information, please contact us at privacy@labfinder.com.
If the user is under the age of majority in their state, they may only access and use LF Services under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms of Use. By using the services on behalf of a minor, the user confirms that they are the minor’s parent or legal guardian and agree to these Terms on their behalf; otherwise, the user must cease using the LF Services on behalf of the minor immediately. For all references in these Terms of Use, “user” or “User” includes both the minor and the parent, legal guardian, or authorized representative of the minor. By using LF Services, the user represents and warrants that they have the legal right, authority, and capacity to agree to these Terms of Use.
What choices do you have about the collection and use of your personally identifiable information?
As a threshold, you should not register for or use the LF Service if you do not agree to these terms and exit the Website immediately.
With regard to personal information that you have provided under this Privacy Policy, there may be various opt-out choices available to you (where applicable). For example, you may be able to opt-out from e-mails (a) following the opt-out directions on the website or in the e-mail; and (b) by contacting us directly as described below.
Please keep in mind that any opt-out choices you make will not apply in situations where (a) you either have made, simultaneously make or later make a specific request for information or action from LabFinder or use particular LF Service functionality that necessitates use of the Personal Information, (b) LabFinder uses your personal information for “Operational Uses” (as described above), (c) you either have engaged, simultaneously engage or later engage in Non-Registered Transactions as described above, or (d) LabFinder collects your personally identifiable information under any of the provisions above.
Any opt-out choices may take time to be implemented and fully effective. Our systems may require time to update, and promotional mailings, by e-mail or otherwise, using personal information shared before your opt-out may already be in process. Thus, you might continue to receive promotional materials from LabFinder based upon the personal information you have provided under this Privacy Policy for up to ninety (90) days.
What kinds of security measures do we take to safeguard your personally identifiable information?
The security of your information is of utmost importance to us. We have implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures to protect user information from unauthorized access and improper use. For example, we limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs. From time to time, we review our security procedures in order to consider appropriate new technology and methods. All communication uses industry standard TLS 1.3 or later encryption to ensure the connect between your browser and LabFinder servers remains private. Once personal health information reaches our system, it is encrypted using unique keys for ongoing storage allowing only those with special permission to access your records. Please be aware though that, despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Once information including Personal Information/PHI is accessed by a viewer or recipient, however, we have no control over the privacy or security of such information.
How can you ask questions or send comments to us about this Privacy Policy?
If you have any questions or wish to send us comments about this Privacy Policy, you can e-mail us directly at privacy@labfinder.com. You can also write to us at the following address:

How will you know if we amend this Privacy Policy?
We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by sending you an e-mail at the last e-mail address that you provided us and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on the website covered by this Privacy Policy. Please note that, at all times, you are responsible for updating your personal information to provide us with your current e-mail address. As a threshold, your receipt of personal information including PHI will either be online and/or through such e-mail address, so maintaining it as current is critical to your protection of your personal information and ensuring you continue to receive the value of the LF Service functionality. In the event that the last e-mail address that you have provided us is not valid, or for any other reason is not capable of delivering to you the notice described above, our dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice of the changes described in the notice. In any event, changes to this Privacy Policy may affect our use of personal information that you provided us prior to our notification to you of the changes. If you do not wish to permit changes in our use of your information, you must notify us prior to the effective date of the changes that you wish to deactivate your account with us, through such mechanism we provide or make available to you. The effective date of this Privacy Policy is set forth at the bottom of this webpage. Your continued use of the LF Service after the effective date (and after the effective date of any change) constitutes your acceptance of the amended Privacy Policy. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. The amended Privacy Policy supersedes all previous versions. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO FUTURE CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU MUST STOP USING THE SERVICES.

- Arbitration and Dispute Resolution
This Agreement and the interpretation of its terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules.
BINDING ARBITRATION OF ALL DISPUTES
- We believe that arbitration is a faster, more convenient, and less expensive way to resolve any disputes or disagreements that you may have with us. Therefore, pursuant to these Terms of Use, if you have any dispute or disagreement with us regarding or relating to (i) your use of or interaction with the Services; (ii) any purchases or other transactions or relationships with LabFinder; (iii) any data or information you may provide to LabFinder or that LabFinder may gather in connection with such use, interaction or transaction; or (iv) any other unresolved claim or controversy (collectively, “LabFinder Transactions or Relationships”), you will not have the right to pursue a claim in court, or have a jury decide the claim and you will not have the right to bring or participate in any class action or similar proceeding in court or in arbitration. By using or interacting with the Services or engaging in any other LabFinder LabFinder Transactions or Relationships with us, you agree to binding arbitration as provided below. Our rights and obligations under this arbitration provision shall inure to the benefit of each of LabFinder’s parent company(ies) and/or owners regardless of whether any of them are named as a co-defendant with us or named individually in a claim that would otherwise be subject to this arbitration provision if brought against us.
- We will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements that you may have with us. If those efforts fail, by using our Services, you agree that any complaint, dispute, disagreement, claim, or controversy you may have against LabFinder, and any claim that LabFinder may have against you, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, or any LabFinder Transactions or Relationships shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the “AAA”) and conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time (the “Applicable Rules”). The most recent version of the AAA rules is available at www.adr.org and are hereby incorporated by reference. You hereby consent to the Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules where applicable, and, where applicable, the Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules shall be included in the defined term “Applicable Rules.” You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the Applicable Rules or waive your opportunity to read the Applicable Rules and waive any claim that the Applicable Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
- To promote efficient handling of arbitration claims, if twenty-five (25) or more substantially similar claims are filed against LabFinder within reasonably close temporal proximity, by or with the help of an entity or coordinated group of entities, whether or not such claims are filed simultaneously, the AAA will promptly take steps to administer the claims in batches of twenty-five (25) (plus a final batch consisting of any remaining claims). Each batch will be considered as a single consolidated arbitration and be appointed one arbitrator and with one set of filing and administrative fees per side, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any), and one final award. The arbitrator will take other steps as necessary for a speedy and efficient resolution of the claims. Claims are of a “substantially similar nature" if they arise out of or relate to the same event or facts, raise similar legal issues and/or causes of action, and seek similar relief. If we disagree on whether this batch arbitration process applies, the AAA will appoint an arbitrator to decide that issue, whose fees will be paid equally between you and LabFinder, and who may prescribe procedures needed to resolve the disagreement. This batch arbitration process does not authorize a class, collective, consolidated, joint, or mass arbitration or action other than as may be set forth in this Section.
- You further agree that:
- the Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Applicable Rules or by mutual agreement between you and LabFinder (the “Arbitrator”);
- the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms of Use and/or these arbitration provisions hereof, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use is void or voidable;
- Arbitration proceedings will be held in New York City, New York, or if your claim does not exceed $10,000 then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents you and LabFinder submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary;
- the Arbitrator (i) shall apply internal laws of the State of New York consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent (if any) that federal law prevails, shall apply the law of the United States, irrespective of any conflict of law principles; (ii) shall entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with New York or federal rules of procedure, as applicable; (iii) shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (iv) shall have authority to award any form of legal or equitable relief;
- the Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an “Award”). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets;
- if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Applicable Rules, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein;
- LabFinder may modify these arbitration provisions, but such modifications shall only become effective thirty (30) days after LabFinder has given notice of such modifications and only on a prospective basis for claims arising from LabFinder Transactions and Relationships occurring after the effective date of such notification; and
- nothing herein shall prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

LabFinder may, but is not obligated to, provide you and your ordering physician or other practitioner with services seeking prior authorization of a test with your carrier/payor before it is rendered. “Prior authorization” means any practice implemented by a carrier or payor in which coverage of a health care service is dependent upon a covered person or a health care practitioner obtaining approval prior to the service being performed. In rendering the services, LabFinder is relying solely on information provided by you (as the patient), on your behalf by a third party, and/or by ordering and/or rendering healthcare providers and suppliers, and does not represent or warrant that it will take steps to verify the information provided to it for the conduct of the prior authorization services. As such, LabFinder cannot guaranty the accuracy, current state of the information, or completeness of the information at the time of the request for authorization. Prior authorizations are not a guaranty of payment or a verification of patient eligibility under the applicable carrier/payor plan, and payment/reimbursement eligibility is ultimately subject to the terms and conditions of participation of the patient and rendering provider with the applicable carrier or payor plan. Carriers and other payors retain the right to review the medical necessity of services, eligibility for services, and benefit limitations and exclusions even after a patient receives the services. LabFinder does not conduct utilization review or make any determination or assessment of medical necessity. USERS, INCLUDING YOU, ASSUME THE SOLE AND ABSOLUTE RISK OF THE VALIDITY OF A PRIOR AUTHORIZATION AND THE AVAILABILITY OF COVERAGE AND/OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE SERVICE. YOU WILL LOOK SOLELY TO YOUR CARRIER/PAYOR AND THE ORDERING AND/OR RENDERING HEALTHCARE PROVIDER WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE REGARDING THE AUTHORIZATION, PAYMENT AND/OR CARE.
LabFinder includes a list of participating providers that pay us a fee for placement on the directory and for use of software functionality we make available for booking services and transmitting test results. We show you those providers in your geographic search area who meet the criteria you enter for your search, including, without limitation, whether they participate in your insurance plan. Participants that are not qualified to render their service, which fail to transmit to our users their test results and/or which fail to maintain compliance with their LabFinder terms and conditions of participation may be suspended or excluded from the directory.
