The published federal record establishes that the pooled-testing methodology deployed in Greenville was the same methodology the CDC chose to deploy nationally through its own contractor pathway.

The Network

The Multi-Lab Record — Six Independently Announced Laboratories

Every laboratory in the Diversified Medical Healthcare network was announced publicly, documented in industry press, and operated under its own independent regulatory framework — its own CLIA certification, its own licensed lab director, and its own state oversight. Below is the dated, sourced record of each announcement and acquisition.

A fraud operation does not issue PRNewswire releases announcing each acquisition to the public, industry, and state officials. The DMH record is one of the most publicly documented laboratory networks in recent South Carolina history.
