At Wheatland Health, our skilled phlebotomists perform the procedure with care. They’ll gently draw the required amount of blood or collect other necessary biological specimens for the specific test. After labeling it appropriately and completing essential paperwork or chain-of-custody documentation, the sample is sent to our accredited/certified laboratory partner for analysis. You’ll receive your test results at the location of purchase, with the option for notification via pick-up or another approved method. Typically, results are available within 24 to 72 business hours post-collection. 

Yes, appointments are necessary to ensure a streamlined process. Our medical assistants prepare all supplies and documentation ahead of time, minimizing wait times and allowing you to return to your daily routine promptly. Scheduling is convenient; you can find our store locations in your community, call, or easily book appointments online. 

We adhere strictly to HIPAA guidelines and state regulations for result distribution. You have the option to receive your results via mail, fax, or in-person pick-up. Written consent is required for sharing results with any party other than yourself. Maintaining confidentiality and discretion is paramount to us at Wheatland Health. 

Certain lab test results can be emailed upon request, ensuring compliance with HIPAA guidelines and state regulations. All releases of records necessitate signed authorization from the consenting individual before any results are shared. Tests such as HIV cannot be transmitted via email or fax due to federal regulations and must be collected in person. 

No, it’s not necessary. Each of our store locations operates under the supervision of a physician who oversees testing and result interpretation. However, if your physician provides you with a formal order for lab tests, we’re more than happy to accommodate it. 

Typically, you’ll receive your results within an average of 24 to 72 hours. However, depending on the specific test, additional time may be required. For precise turnaround times for specific tests, you can utilize our Test Finder tool for more detailed information.
