A related question - I had a message from my Dr's nurse today that I needed to redo my blood tests that the infusion center must have before my Reclast. I've reached out to my Dr's office 3 times over the past month regarding sending lab work and insurance info to the infusion center. The infusion center told me a week ago they did not have the lab work. I emailed it to them as a last resort. Then I got that message today. So now I have to jump thru hoops to get these 2 tests and get the results to the Dr, then to the infusion center, before Wednesday of this coming week! I see another delay coming, haha.
I will go stand in line at the one of the few Quest Labs open on a Sat tomorrow morning. Of course I have to fast. I plan to be there when they open and get on the list as a walk-in. Question - how long are lab results accepted after they are drawn? My blood was drawn near the end of Sept. I had my results in a few days. All looked normal. I can understand if this is the reason for the infusion center's request. But why the heck didn't my Dr's office send the results to the infusion much earlier. I would have done this asap. I'm not a happy camper here. I feel like the nurse dropped the ball and sent the results maybe yesterday. And now I have to try and get the results back to the infusion center before Wednesday. Grrrr. Sorry for the rambling post. 🙂
