Blood draws and specimen collection

Blood draws and specimen collection support clinician-ordered testing without requiring every patient to arrange a separate collection visit elsewhere. The type of sample and where it is processed depend on the tests ordered and collection availability.

What your care may include.

The scope of blood draws and specimen collection is guided by your clinical needs and the information reviewed at your visit. The following areas can form part of the conversation or care plan when appropriate.

  • Review of applicable test orders
  • Available blood and specimen collection
  • Preparation-instruction review
  • Coordination of results with your care plan

Important expectations

Collection does not mean the sample is analyzed in the office. Reference-laboratory processing and separate charges may apply.

A clearer start to your care.

Ask the office whether your order can be collected here and whether an appointment is needed. Follow only the preparation instructions given for your ordered tests.

When arranging care, ask the office about availability, appointment type, required records, costs, and any insurance questions. Do not change medication or begin special test preparation unless your clinician instructs you to do so.
