Florida law.... All your Dr needs to do is mark on your blood prescription or X rays that you want to pick up the results yourself and THEY HAVE TO provide them to you directly. Again Florida law.
I see the Dr and he sends me over to the lab. Two days later I walk in and they hand me my results. They of course also send them to your Dr.
A great benefit to the Florida system.
Make sure your Dr marks it on your prescription.
If he won't then get a new Dr.
Back in NY that was unheard of. Often I would ask the Dr about my results and he would say "fine" or "we have to make some changes".
Now I know and understand everything.
