I have encountered doctors who expect a non-eventful office visit in order to get the orders for lab tests, then will only call you if they have a concern after tests are run. Then they expect you to schedule another office visit to discuss it.

It would be helpful if they accept Medicare and AARP United Healthcare Supplements. Any suggestions are welcome! Thank you.
You could go for an office visit. He orders the lab work. You go to the lab and pick up your own results. I have done this. You cancel your follow-up appt.
