We’re Reimagining Community Healthcare

Since COVID-19 became a global pandemic in 2020, there have been 776 million cases reported worldwide.1 By mid-2021, the Omicron variant became the most common strain of the virus in the United States. Consequently, the demand for diagnostic tests skyrocketed.

Recognizing the need to make accurate and reliable at-home COVID-19 tests easily accessible, marketing visionary Cemhan Biricik launched Fast Lab Technologies in September 2021 — giving people the opportunity to purchase Antigen and PCR at-home COVID-19 tests online. Best of all, patients who ordered Fast Lab’s Antigen at-home test could get their results in as little as 20 minutes 2.

Fast Lab is removing barriers to care among vulnerable populations.

During this time, we also recognized the need to promote health equity and began by collaborating with community leaders and public policy decision makers to address social determinants of health.  Since opening our doors, we have worked diligently to cultivate community partnerships. We are very proud of the following accomplishments we’ve put into place in just three short years.

Started a mobile delivery service in partnership with Uber to deliver at-home Antigen COVID-19 tests to patients needing them the most.

The American College of Physicians cites transportation as a critical factor in limiting a patient’s ability to access care.3 As such, Fast Lab’s partnership with UBER has resulted in a mobile delivery service that is offered at no cost to many Fast Lab patients.*

Put payment assistance programs in place for self-paying and low-income patients.

Two of the most prevalent barriers to care include insufficient health insurance and financial limitations. In accordance with our belief that everyone should be able to achieve optimal health, Fast Lab offers discounted fees for our patients who qualify.

Fast Lab is committed to fostering community partnerships that promote health equity. We will continue to advocate for our patients through education and outreach under the leadership of Cemhan Biricik, CEO.
