About

A firm built by operators
for advanced diagnostics.

DMC Group is a boutique commercialization and revenue platform for advanced diagnostics — integrating the pathway from assay readiness through coding, coverage, launch, and collections.

DMC leadership
Our approach

Senior operators. Discreet engagements. Durable results.

Engagements are led directly by senior operators with laboratory, commercialization, clinical, reimbursement, and enterprise experience. We work quietly with our clients — pairing rigorous analysis with the practical judgment that comes from having sat in the operator's seat.

Our experience spans reference laboratories, molecular diagnostics companies, hospital systems, physician organizations, medical device manufacturers, and the private investors capitalizing them.

DMC Group is a woman- and LGBTQIA+-owned firm. That identity shapes how we build partnerships, recruit talent, and advise clients on supplier diversity, network design, and inclusive commercial strategy.

Principles

Four principles that guide every engagement.

  • 01

    Operator judgment

    Recommendations that we would implement ourselves — because we have.
  • 02

    Integrated economics

    Every recommendation tied to coding, coverage, reimbursement, and unit economics — not strategy in isolation.
  • 03

    Regulatory fluency

    Working familiarity with CLIA, CAP, and CMS pathways, and with the evolving federal oversight of laboratory-developed tests.
  • 04

    Discretion

    Confidential engagements at the board, C-suite, and investor level.
