Here not only will she not allow them to be mailed to me they charge for an office visit to get the results . And they charge a dollar to get a copy of them . This is ripping off the insurance and the patient. I am ready for a change .
Has anyone else experienced this policy with their doctor . I am really curious .
Yes, I had the same issues with a former physicians' office and I left that office. Fortunately I, as of today, do not have many health issues so I use Paramount Urgent Care for my blood work every 6 mos . I am given the results over the phone within a day or 2 and my scripts are called in. I request a copy of results which are waiting at the front desk for me... no charge!
