[QUOTE="Re-Ride, post: 39104, member: 8395"] Same here but doc states that he's getting flack for ordering "unnecessary" tests. The ordering physician is required to code lab orders with the correct diagnostic code for it to be covered. That's not as easy as it sounds as there are multiple codes for essentially the same thing. Secondly, whoever diagnosed the hypo-G and prescribes the HRT should make sure the primary is cc'd all relevant charts which must then be transcribed to the local medical record. Inter-office bureaucracy can be HELL especially with LABCORP. YMMV. I've used one location for 28 years that was fantastic, never a problem. A few months ago that all changed. A month went by and still I hadn't been resulted. No record of the draw they said. I didn't exist in their system. Two weeks of digging and I'm finally told: "Your doc wasn't signed up so everything was sent to S.Diego". The b.s didn't end there. "Results can only be released to the ordering physician" LABCORP actually had the audacity to cite "this is to protect the doctor's financial interests." I had to get their West coast compliance office involved. 40 hours of telephone time and weeks later everyone was resulted. A few of the these results were were so out of line that we decided to toss everything. I'm done with LABCORP. YMMV. Discounted Labs labs is a huge step in the right direction and an important resource for many. Everyone's situation is different. If you go with the above plan understand that the treating physician can not use your copy of the results. They must com directly from LABCORP or the ordering physician. If your HRT prescribing physician is told by LABCORP that he can't have them ( because labcorp hasn't yet gotten around to re-training their people as promised that they MUST result any doctor treating you, no HIPAA release required) your only recourse will be to contact your regional LABCORP compliance officer.
