What Happened

Contact information, individuals, telephone numbers, addresses, or other details connected to that listing may not be authorized by Autism Diagnostics Lab Inc.
What We Are Doing

We are taking appropriate steps to protect our organization, patients, healthcare providers, and business partners and to have any inaccurate or unauthorized information investigated and corrected.
What Is an NPI?
A National Provider Identifier, or NPI, is a 10-digit number that healthcare providers in the United States use for billing and other administrative transactions. NPIs are issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) through the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). The registry is public, which is why the same records also appear on many third-party directory websites.
An NPI on its own does not prove that a provider is licensed or that the person using it is who they claim to be. A directory listing that shows our name does not mean anyone is authorized to act on our behalf.
How to Verify It’s Really Us
- Call our official number. Our official telephone number is 1-480-247-7430. If you receive a call, message, or email that claims to come from Autism Diagnostics Lab and you are not sure it is legitimate, end the conversation and call us back at this number.
- Do not rely on caller ID or directory listings. Caller ID can be faked, and the phone numbers and addresses shown in online provider directories may not belong to us.
- Use our official website. You can order our test kit and find our contact details at autismdiagnosticslab.com.
- Pause before sharing sensitive information. Do not give personal, medical, payment, or insurance information, specimens, or login credentials to anyone claiming to represent us until you have confirmed the request with us.
