Pathology Resource Network

What Pathology Resource Network does

Pathology Resource Network (PRN), L.L.C. is a privately held laboratory management services firm headquartered in Shreveport, Louisiana, providing an integrated stack of professional services to medical laboratories, hospitals, and physician offices throughout the state. Its service offering spans seven functional areas — billing, courier/logistics, laboratory compliance, human resources, information technology, accounting, and laboratory management & development — delivered through on-site staffing, consultation, and 24/7 remote support. The company serves a vertical range from small clinic labs to large multi-laboratory systems across both clinical and anatomic pathology settings, and operates a daily statewide courier network with same-day, on-call, and hotshot specimen transport.

PRN's technology layer is intentionally lean and third-party dependent: it deploys the CareEvolve platform for laboratory order entry and billing workflows (supporting client bill, third-party bill, and patient bill configurations, currently at Version 3.8.2) and SimpleHelp for remote technician support sessions and unattended machine access. The firm also publishes recurring compliance newsletters and maintains a regulatory bulletin board, positioning itself as an external compliance advisor in addition to a service provider. PRN shares headquarters and human resources infrastructure with two affiliated Louisiana entities, Delta Pathology Group, L.L.C. and Omega Diagnostics Laboratory, L.L.C., forming a coordinated multi-LLC laboratory services ecosystem under common administrative operations.

Revenue is generated through custom managed-services agreements with no publicly disclosed pricing, and the company does not report revenue, funding, or ownership details. Distribution is direct, via field-based enterprise sales to Louisiana institutions, supported by a corporate website that functions as the primary marketing and compliance content channel. With 251–500 employees, PRN is a mid-sized regional services organization whose scale and competitive position are anchored in regulatory expertise (CLIA and CAP), embedded operational staffing, and a statewide specimen logistics footprint rather than proprietary technology.

• ARUP Laboratories: ARUP Laboratories is a national reference lab that supports hospital and clinic labs with testing, consultative, and operational services — competing for the same institutional lab customers that PRN targets in Louisiana and beyond.
