Show Notes

“So in general, an office-based lab might be more easy to stand up. There might be less cost associated with an OBL and fewer hurdles from the regulatory standpoint for a physician to jump over.” —Joel R. Rainwater, MD

Host Roger T. Tomihama, MD, speaks with interventional radiologist Joel R. Rainwater, MD, about his experience building a network of 12 office-based labs (OBLs) in 5 states, what interventional radiologists should keep in mind when considering the OBL business model, opportunities for IRs-in-training, and more.
