| Laboratory
A majority of the lab work and blood tests are
drawn in the office. This makes blood tests convenient for you and allows us to
obtain test results quickly. The length of time to receive lab results vary
according to the test. We will notify you of all abnormal lab and xray
results. Mammography centers notify you directly about your mammogram. If you
have not heard from us or the mammography center within 2 weeks, please contact
our office. If you would like to be notified about your annual pap smear
result, please let us know at the time of your visit. We track all Pap smears
taken and cross check that they are reported back to us.
You will receive a separate bill from the lab
for all blood tests, pap smears, cultures, and biopsy specimens. There is also
a handling charge by our office for pap smears, cultures, and biopsy specimens.
Your insurance plan may not pay for some of these tests. Insurance coverage for
lab tests is not universal.
Medical
Records
Prior to your first visit, please obtain a copy
of your medical records for us. We would also suggest keeping a copy for your
personal files.
If you are transferring your care out of our
office, you must sign a record release. A processing fee of $25.00 will be
charged for the initial copy and $30.00 for subsequent copies.
