Common questions
Before you visit
Should I change my medication based on a result myself?
No. Medication decisions must be made with the prescribing clinician. Confirm how results will be shared and who will manage your care plan.
Are the listed fees a complete quote?
The schedule lists individual services. Visit, laboratory, imaging, medication, supply, or other charges may apply separately. Ask for the total proposed cost before proceeding.
