LOL my doc asks me to bring him copies cause it takes my lab forever to fax them

to him . Besides doctors are so busy sometimes that they tend to forget to call

us , and when we have abnormal tests that can be harmful if something goes

untreated because the dr had no time . I am agressive when it comes to my own

records and health . I also tend to intimidate doctors alot

Yep, you are right and you know that IF a certain doc uses the same lab for all

his patients, they will know who the nurse is and so they CAN get the info for

you,, but I think they have to give them to you IF YOU GO IN PERSON with PICTURE

ID!

silvianursey wrote:

Yes you can.....a patient can have several doctors. There's a place

on the lab slip where you can write who to send copies to....but the

doctors usually do not bother filling it out....and when the patient

comes in he says I just had lab done by such and such doctor....You

can call the lab and ask for them. I have done many times....with

the patient's permission, of course. If the lab says to get them

from whoever ordered them you can say the patient is here now and I

need them right away. They will ask you for ss#, date of birth and

date of service and if you know tha doctor's account number is even

easier. It is ridiculous to think that if a doctor is on vacation

and his office is closed, you wouldn't be able to get results

directly from the lab.
