Question 1

What is VialRun?

Accepted Answer

VialRun is an on-demand and STAT (urgent, 2-hour) courier platform for lab specimens. Clinics and phlebotomists request a pickup in the VialRun Operator app; W-2 couriers collect the specimen and deliver it to the lab. Every delivery produces an automated chain-of-custody record, with cold-chain temperature logging and one-tap SMS confirmation from the lab.

Question 2

How fast is a STAT pickup?

Accepted Answer

STAT pickups are targeted for collection and delivery within 2 hours inside our active coverage zones. When you request a pickup, the app checks zone, time window, and courier capacity in real time and tells you exactly what is available before you confirm.

Question 3

Do labs need to install an app?

Accepted Answer

No. Labs confirm receipt with a single tap on an SMS link — no app, no account, and no login required. That one tap closes the chain-of-custody record automatically.

Question 4

How does chain-of-custody work?

Accepted Answer

VialRun records every handoff, timestamp, temperature reading, and signature automatically. Within seconds of lab confirmation, a complete chain-of-custody PDF is generated and emailed to the operator, and stored securely for compliance.

Question 5

Is VialRun HIPAA-compliant?

Accepted Answer

VialRun is built on a HIPAA-aware architecture with role-based access, audit logging, encryption in transit and at rest, and session controls. We never sell your data. A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is available for institutional operators.

Question 6

How much does VialRun cost?

Accepted Answer

VialRun offers three subscription tiers — Essential at $99/month, Professional at $199/month, and Enterprise at $299/month — each with a 30-day free trial. Pickups are billed per request on top of the subscription.

Question 7

Are couriers employees or contractors?

Accepted Answer

VialRun couriers are W-2 employees. That means consistent training on specimen handling, cold-chain, and chain-of-custody, plus accountability that gig contractors cannot provide.

Question 8

Where is VialRun available?

Accepted Answer

VialRun is launching in Illinois, serving the Chicago southwest suburbs — Naperville, Bolingbrook, Oswego, Plainfield, and Montgomery — with more markets being added.
