Are the results confidential?
Absolutely. We respect your privacy and maintain confidentiality. You are the only one who receives the test results.
Will I be able to understand the results?
Yes, all test results include the normal reference ranges and abnormalities are indicated. We recommend you see your healthcare provider to discuss results outside of normal ranges.
Will my physician receive a copy of the results?
No, you will receive the only copy. Since we deal directly with you, no one else will receive copies from our facility. We recommend taking the results with you when visiting your healthcare provider.
What if I receive an abnormal result?
Laboratory test results may vary depending on age, sex, time of day sample is taken, diet, medications, and the limits of modern technology. A single test or group of results cannot guarantee good health, just as an abnormal result does not necessarily indicate disease. We strongly recommend you discuss the results with your healthcare provider.
Who can I contact if I have questions about the results?
You should contact your healthcare provider with questions concerning the test results. If you do not have a healthcare provider you can contact the Syracuse Clinic or Weeping Water Clinic for an appointment.
Why do I have to pay in advance for my lab tests?
Paying in advance reduces administrative expenses and keeps Wellness Lab Prices low.
Is this covered by Medicare or Insurance?
No, laboratory testing performed under the Syracuse Area Health Wellness Lab Program is not covered by Medicare or Insurance.
