The team at UCGS labs has been working over the past year to update our website with a fresh new look and improved functionality! One of our main goals was to provide a better user experience, which we have acheived through several updates such as improved search functionality, more streamlined test pages, and links to key forms and documents on every test page. We've also added some new features including a research page where you can browse key publications from our lab. We hope you enjoy the new site, and as always your comments and feedback are welcomed!

ICD-10 Implementation has arrived! Our health care system moved to the International Classification for Disease, 10th Revision – ICD-10 on October 1, 2015. According to the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), “The change to ICD-10 allows you to capture more details about the health status of your patients and sets the stage for improved patient care and public health surveillance across our country.”
