Labs

Why are labs recommended?

Labs are recommended to ensure client safety. Your test results are confidential and will not be shared with other providers including your primary care unless you specifically ask and sign a HIPAA release form.

If you have had a blood draw in the past 12 months, we will review it and may accept them at no charge to you.
