Most lab tests can be ordered anonymously. If you choose to test anonymously, you will be required to provide a birth date and/or show your sales receipt to ensure the test results are provided to the correct tested party. If you choose to pay for the lab test by credit card (for security reasons); will use a test result as evidence in court (such as a paternity test); or taking a corporate drug screen, a valid ID is required.
Customer privacy is extremely important to Careaccessclinicallabs®. All personnel are trained on HIPAA regulations and compliance, and follow these critical guidelines. Customers have the option of ordering a test anonymously when it is appropriate, and to choose which method to receive their lab test results (U.S. Mail, Fax, Pick Up). If a customer chooses to test anonymously, they will be required to provide a birth date and show a sales receipt for verification prior to receiving test results. Lab test results will not be distributed to any other party without formal written consent that authorizes us to provide test results to other individuals or your physician. Because Careaccessclinicallabs® does not accept insurance, your results are not provided to your physician without your written consent, or a formal written doctor’s order for the lab tests. Careaccessclinicallabs® does not submit your lab tests results to your personal medical record. However, you may provide the results to your physician if desired and at your discretion.
