Expert Lab Oversight for Clinician-Run Labs — Without the Full-Time Cost
Running a physician office lab, urgent care, or dialysis center — without a full-time lab director?
I provide the senior-level lab oversight your patients depend on — at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
Lab Compliance Simplified provides direct, on-demand Technical Consultant (TC) or Technical Supervisor (TS) for physician office labs, dialysis centers, urgent care clinics, and multi-site clinic chains. You work with me directly — not a staffing agency, not a rotating contractor — to stay CLIA compliant, expand your test menu, and run a lab your clinicians can depend on.
What I Do For Your Lab
Designed for physician office labs, dialysis centers, urgent care clinics, and multi-site clinic chains that run testing without full-time licensed laboratory personnel. Every service is delivered by me, directly.
• CLIA Technical Consultant / Technical Supervisor (TC/TS)
• New Test Validation & Verification — including i-STAT and POC platforms
• CLIA, CAP, COLA & AAAHC Compliance Support
• In-House Testing Expansion — from feasibility to go-live
• Staff Competency Assessments by a CLIA-qualified lab director
• Quality Systems, SOPs & Inspection Readiness
• Multi-Site Compliance Standardization for clinic chains & dialysis centers
• Ongoing oversight for waived and moderate-complexity testing environments
-
Yes. We support setup, verification, training, and ongoing CLIA-compliant oversight for i-STAT and other moderate-complexity point-of-care platforms.
-
Yes. We provide CLIA laboratory oversight and ongoing compliance support for labs performing waived testing only, as well as those offering a mix of waived and moderate-complexity tests.
-
Yes — multi-site compliance standardization is a core part of what I do. I build a unified oversight program that covers all your locations under one consistent compliance framework. Whether you have two clinic locations or twenty, your testing program runs the same way everywhere.
-
I offer predictable monthly pricing based on your test menu, complexity, and number of locations — so you always know what compliance costs. No hourly billing surprises, no agency markups. Most clients find the monthly retainer pays for itself quickly compared to the cost of a compliance failure, a failed inspection, or sending testing out to a reference lab.
-
You work directly with me — a credentialed laboratory director with 20+ years of hands-on compliance experience. No layers, no handoffs, no junior staff filling in. When you have a compliance question at 4pm before an inspection, you reach me. That direct access is the core of how this model works.
-
Start with a free 20-minute consultation. I'll assess your current setup, walk you through what expansion requires under CLIA, and give you a clear picture of what's involved — before you commit to any equipment or contracts. There's no obligation and no sales pitch.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I'm Michelle Spinosa, MPH, CLS, MLS(ASCP), Lean Six Sigma Green Belt — a clinical laboratory leader with 20+ years of experience building compliant, high-performing labs in complex, resource-constrained environments.
I've built two hospital laboratories from the ground up, earned ASCP’s 40 Under Forty recognition, and served as Lab Director for California’s statewide COVID-19 and flu testing program — supporting more than 7,000 testing sites and 20,000 testers while achieving near-100% compliance using a machine learning–assisted oversight model.
Over two decades, I’ve seen the same pattern: physician office labs, dialysis centers, and multi-site clinics are leaving significant value on the table. They rely on costly send-outs for testing that could be performed in-house, delay care while waiting for results, and operate without the level of laboratory oversight required to stay consistently inspection-ready — increasing both risk and missed revenue opportunities.
Lab Compliance Simplified exists to close that gap.
I provide fractional laboratory leadership — including regulatory oversight, test implementation, validation, and inspection readiness — so you can confidently expand in-house testing without the cost or burden of a full-time lab director.
