What if I need additional lab tests beyond the initial referral?
If your DrHouse doctor determines that additional lab tests are needed after reviewing your initial results, here’s how the process works:
- Doctor review and decision: Your doctor will first review the results of your initial tests. If they identify areas that need further investigation, they’ll recommend and issue referrals for any additional lab tests.
- Complete the additional tests: With the new referrals, you can visit a Labcorp location to complete the additional tests, just as you did with the initial referral.
- Receive results and follow-up: Once the new test results are ready, they’ll be securely sent to your DrHouse doctor for another review. If necessary, your doctor may suggest a follow-up appointment to discuss these new results and determine the next steps, such as a treatment plan or further tests if needed.
If you have specific concerns or feel additional tests might be helpful, you can also schedule a follow-up consultation with a DrHouse doctor to discuss these requests. DrHouse makes it easy to address any ongoing health concerns thoroughly and ensure you receive the necessary diagnostic support.
