If you have a screening test performed as a result of a doctor's order, you have already been screened as needing the test, based on accepted medical protocols. But, if you go to Lifeline Screening, the only screening that takes place is to determine if you have enough money to pay for the test. In that case, the test results can often be misinterpreted because the decision to have the test was not based on years of research data to determine who should and who should not be tested.
