Frequently Asked Questions
- How will I get results?
- Portal, phone, or both. Ask which channel is used for abnormal results that need faster contact.
- What is a normal turnaround?
- It depends on the test. Ask for typical business-day ranges and when to follow up.
- What if nothing appears in the portal?
- Know the clinic callback number and timing. Silence is not a result.
