Requests for copies of reports or any information regarding results should be directed to the Laboratory. All reports to our routine clients are delivered by Bio-Test couriers. All routine tests are delivered within 24 hours. Other reports are delivered as they are completed. Reports are computerized with abnormal results appearing in bold face type with an arrow indicating elevated or decreased values. This enables abnormal values to be brought to the physician's attention quickly.
