Health Diagnostic Laboratory

Health Diagnostic Laboratory, Inc. (HDL) was a clinical laboratory offering advanced blood testing services to physicians across the United States. HDL processed blood samples to test biomarkers indicative of risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses[2]. The company processed thousands of samples daily at its peak, operating facilities in Richmond, Virginia, and De Soto, Kansas[1]. Legal issues related to alleged anti-kickback violations led to a $49.5 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, bankruptcy, and eventual acquisition of its assets[1][2]. Its former CEO and marketing principals later faced a $114.1 million jury verdict for related violations[3].
