@roseymarya, do you have to let your Mayo team at Rochester know that your PCP will cc your lab results to them? I was told by the Az Mayo nurse that the provider who rewrites the lab order becomes responsible for reviewing the labs. So when Mayo receives the lab results they will show it's ordered by your local provider in which case they may not review them??? How does this work? Does the PCP cc the results and indicate that order was originally from your Mayo provider???

@caretakermom, This is confusing, isn't it!
-I take the copy of my lab order (written by my Mayo transplant team during my annual evaluation) to to my PCP when I return home.
-My PCP keeps the original, and he re-writes it because local facility will not/ cannot honor out of state lab orders (I think that is true for medication prescriptions, too).
-Since the original from MAYO requests that the lab results be faxed to a specific fax number at Mayo, he includes that "Send to" information.
-Both Mayo and my PCP get original lab results copies from the Hospital lab. No need for cc to anyone.
-Also I sign a Permission to Release Form so that the lab results can be sent to Mayo. I do that annually, too, when I deliver the new lab order.
-My standing lab order and release of information are kept on file at the lab location on the southside of town where I prefer to go.
I am not connected to a huge hospital, so maybe things are handled differently here.
I hope this makes sense!
