Guest guest Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 For those of you in an IMP situation, how do you handle blood draws? Do you devote any time or staff for doing it in your own office? Or send to a local lab for the basics? Our office uses labcorp. which as been, at times good and at times bad. Given the hassles and using our relatively inexperienced phlebotomists to draw blood I am thinking perhaps it would be easier to just send patients to a labcorp location for the draw. Labcorp will only give a discount if the patient has no insurance if they get the blood drawn in their own facility/lab, not in our office. Even then the discounts are poor. They also seem to have a habit of making lots of mistakes on the bill--when you draw for a hep B Surface AB, they often will do an Antigen instead, then bill you for a comprehensive hepatitis panel. any prior lab corp experiences? Feel free to email me off the list if you prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
