• MSA Signed with GeneX Laboratory, an In-Network Laboratory Licensed in Multiple States Including Medicare and Medicaid
• Laboratory Services MSO will be the Exclusive Testing Provider for Toxicology Testing, Genetic Testing and Others

FREEHOLD, N.J., July 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avalon GloboCare Corp. (“Avalon” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ALBT), a developer of innovative precision diagnostics and provider of clinical laboratory services, today announced Laboratory Services MSO, LLC (“LSM”), has signed an exclusive Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) with GeneX Laboratory Professional Corp. (“GeneX”). Avalon owns a 40% interest in LSM.

Genex is a CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratory located in Orange County, California that has been dormant and seeking a partner to utilize their valuable license networks. GeneX has licenses with major providers such as Aetna California, Anthem BC of California, United Health Care, Cigna, Noridian Medicare, TRICare West, and Medicaid in 21 states, including Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas and Washington.    GeneX offers a range of high- quality testing, including Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) drug testing, genetic testing, urinary testing and COVID-19 PCR testing. Those tests will now be performed utilizing the LSM infrastructure and resources providing significant expansion opportunity for LSM to perform services through in-network insurance providers previously unavailable.

David Jin, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Avalon, commented, “This agreement is a key step in expanding LSM’s service offering to customers and providing them access to refer business in-network. GeneX provides top-tier, comprehensive laboratory testing services and works with major providers in addition to Medicaid in 21 states. This further expands our geographic testing footprint and should result in significant revenue for Avalon.”

“Our strategy is to take advantage of a unique roll-up opportunity within the highly fragmented market for laboratory testing and services. We continue to target laboratories with exceptional performance, positive revenue track records and niche-market advantages. By leveraging LSM’s experience and infrastructure, we expect to achieve significant synergies with respect to revenue growth and market shares,” concluded Dr. Jin.
