Test Results

Normal Results

It is not the policy of Blue Mesa Medical to call all patients with normal test results. If you would like a letter and/or a copy of your test results, even if normal, please tell your nurse or practitioner during your visit. If you are curious about test results, please feel free to call or email a nurse and she will be happy to discuss your test results with you. Please allow up to 1-2 weeks for receipt and processing of test results, depending on the test.

Abnormal Results

You will be notified by telephone of any abnormal test results. We do not leave messages on voicemail with result information. We will, however, leave a message asking you to return our call. On occasion, we may request that you come in to the office or schedule an appointment with a practitioner to discuss complicated or sensitive test results. We reserve the right to require an office visit before releasing test results to you.

If you are 18 years of age or older, it is illegal for us to release your test results to anyone else without your specific consent. For more information, please see Release of Information.

In the event that we cannot reach you by telephone after at least three attempts, or you do not respond to messages left on voicemail, we will issue a letter to your home address asking that you contact us. If you do not respond, Blue Mesa Medical is no longer obligated to attempt to contact you. Any harm that comes to you as a result of this, is not the responsibility of Blue Mesa Medical. It is your responsibility to make sure we have accurate phone numbers and addresses in the event that we need to contact you.
