[QUOTE="Re-Ride, post: 22335, member: 8395"] Nelson, thanks for posting the new rule. A better way is to insist that the doc writes "CC patient upon initial and final result" on the lab request. The doc can write that or "cc pt asap" in the notifications box or anywhere on the lab order. This way you get the results mailed to you right away not 30 days later. Also ask him to notify other docs such as your primary care. "CC PT ASAP" means you will not [U]waste time[/U] driving to the lab office to so they can verify your identity which is also a new requirement. On line electronic reporting offers trend visualization and graphing but you should still insist on a hard copy. Not all of my results have appeared on line. There are dates for creatinine and metabolic panel missing online for example. Without "cc pt asap" on he form the lab may delay posting for up to several weeks. Many docs do not bother looking at your labs even if they are flagged. In one such case a year ago I had a serious infection that went untreated. I only learned of it 6 weeks later when the lab report arrived in the mail. Doc had written "cc pt" but not "cc pt upon result". In this case TWO docs in different offices each failed to notify even though the lab report went as far as to recommend the effective antibiotic. and flagged the results in red. The person most likely to kill you is your doctor. [/QUOTE]
