That's a good idea. I read the group's webpage and I don't think it
mentioned it. But the $10 is a one-time fee and it would be worth it
to have both current doctors' lab tests and maybe others in the
future. However it turned out late yesterday that it's not available
in Maryland. All my blood etc. tests were normal until 9 days ago
(except the parathyroid, which is normal again after the simple
surgery.) but this time a lipid was marginal, I think he said.
I can even to it from my
phone.
This lab has the phone thing too, but they wanted more than 10
dollars for the phone! ;-)
My provider just went with that so there is no history. However, I
stopped in for a lipid panel in the morning and when I got home I had
email saying the results were up.
Turns out in Md. the law prevents them from sending the results until
I ask for them. Since automatic sending is part of the $10 fee,
maybe that's why I can't get advanced at all, so I'm going to try to
get them to make automatic sending unavailable in Maryland. Of course
that's so obvious they would have though of that, so maybe there's
another reason.
But for free with what I signed up for yesterday I can get anything 2
days after the doctor does, and I can save it on my computer one test
at a time, but won't have it nicely packaged like they said they would
do.
