It’s crucial to follow any specific instructions, such as fasting or avoiding medications, in the days leading up to the test. Please consult your physician or nurse for guidance on how to prepare for the test. You should have your insurance card(s) and physician’s order with you at the time of your test.
Once your laboratory tests are complete, you can access the results through MyChart. Your provider will then review the results with you and discuss any necessary next steps.
