[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 114720, member: 18023"] I think a single site to obtain all lab results it a hopeless wish. Quest and Labcorp would never agree, and some tests are done locally at the doctors office. I also keep a spreadsheet of results and a PDF of the original document. Documents from the 1990s start to fade. Sometimes a doctor will transcribe results from a lab onto their patient portal incorrectly or not completely, and not include the original lab report and not include any information on where the lab work was done. Of course, you can call up the doctors office and after a while find someone that knows where the lab was done or can point you to where you can get a copy of the report from the lab. I think it's mostly a marketing branding issue. Some like life [COLOR=#333333]extension want you to associate all your health concerns with their company, not really make it so obvious they are a middle man between labcorp and you. Some others don't care about that issue. Another odd fact, labcorp will send your doctor the results a couple of days before they release the information to the patient. (Maybe this is an option that the doctor can choose?) I guess it gives the doctor time to explain, reassure, take action, etc. Also, some patients will get needlessly worried about a flag that shows results only marginally out of range. An example, ~40% of the time my p[/COLOR]otassium levels will be slightly above normal range. When I asked doctors, they say it's not enough out of range to matter. [/QUOTE]
