At our practice, we understand that an accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective treatment. That’s why we offer a wide range of laboratory tests, from standard panels covered by insurance to advanced specialty tests that provide deeper insights into complex health issues. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition or seeking to optimize your wellness, our comprehensive testing options are designed to meet your needs.
Our practice is unique in several ways, including that we order more comprehensive laboratory tests and that we know how to interpret them correctly in the context of the patient’s complaints, symptoms, and medical history.
For many patients, standard laboratory tests can provide valuable information about hormones, vitamins, mineral levels, and certain infections. These tests are typically covered by health insurance and can be conveniently ordered through well-known laboratories such as LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics.
These labs offer a broad spectrum of tests, including hormone panels, vitamin and mineral assessments, and screenings for infections. If you do not have health insurance, there is an option to have the tests billed to Dr. Bloem’s account, and we will bill you at a discounted rate.
For imaging and radiological assessments, we work with imaging centers such as Advanced Radiology and Community Radiology to ensure you receive high-quality diagnostic imaging.
Specialty Laboratory Testing
For more in-depth analysis, we offer specialty laboratory tests that are usually not covered by insurance but provide critical information for complex or chronic health conditions:
Insurance and Payment Information
While testing through LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics is usually covered by your health insurance, many specialty labs require out-of-pocket payment. Some specialty labs may bill your insurance directly; however, this varies by lab and test. We recommend checking the specific lab’s website for detailed billing information.
If you do not have insurance or if you are opting for specialty testing, we will work with you to provide transparent pricing and payment options. We strive to make these advanced diagnostic tools as accessible as possible to our patients.
Receiving Your Results
Laboratory results typically take about two weeks to return, depending on the complexity of the tests ordered. Once we receive your results, we will notify you promptly, and you will be able to view and download your results through our secure Power2Patient portal. We believe in keeping our patients informed and involved in their care, so you will have easy access to your test results as soon as they are available.
