Submitted by webadmin on

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is objecting to the sale of clinical laboratory operator MedLab, saying it violates regulations that protect patients' privacy, Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review reported today. The federal agency said that the bankruptcy court shouldn't approve a sale that allows MedLab to provide customer lists as part of the sale of its assets, as is outlined in one potential deal.
