Test
Flu Screening
Dexa scan® - Bone Density
 |
Many
insurance companies will pay all or co-pay benefits if this
scan is performed in a doctor’s office. If the test is
performed in a hospital, most insurance companies will apply
it to your yearly deductible. Check with your insurance for coverage. See insurance page
for a link to check your insurance benefits online. |
When
it is necessary to send tests to an outside facility, Oaks Medical
Center has no control over the length of time it takes to receive
your results. The
normal turnaround on these tests is 48 to 72 hours. However, once
your test results are received by our office your medical record
must be pulled and the results reviewed by the ordering physician.
This may create a delay if the physician/provider is not working on
the day the results are received. If you have questions or have not
heard from us in within a week, please call the appropriate office
or send an e-mail to the Nurse’s desk in the space provided below.
If
the results are within a normal range you will receive a letter from
our office stating that the test was within the normal range. If you have questions regarding the test submit an e-mail
directly to the Nurse’s desk from this page or call the
appropriate office and leave a message for the Nurse’s desk.
If
the results were abnormal our office will first try to contact you
by phone. If we are unable to reach you, a letter with the results
will be sent to you stating the test was abnormal and asking you to
contact our appropriate office for more information and/or
scheduling an office visit.
Please remember, the Nurse’s Desk is available
Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.
A nurse is not available on this desk after 3 p.m. weekdays
or during weekends.
