IMPORTANT RESULTS INFORMATION
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY RESULTS IN MyChart?
• Medical test result timing varies. Federal law requires the release of medical results to the patient as soon as they are available. This means you will always get your results in a timely fashion, and you will most likely receive them through MyChart BEFORE your next visit with your health care provider. Please understand providers may take 48-72 hours to contact you once your results become available.
HOW WILL MY PROVIDER FOLLOW UP WITH ME?
• If your results are within the expected range – no follow up is required and you will not be contacted.
• Your provider will contact you with your results through MyChart.
• A follow-up appointment is recommended – please schedule that appointment for a few days AFTER your medical test to ensure your provider will have your results.
WHAT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT MY RESULTS?
• If you want to discuss your results or have questions, we recommend making a follow up appointment with our provider.
