Direct Access Lab Testing
One of the most basic aspects of health care reform
is encouraging and enabling consumers to take more responsibility
for their own wellness and disease
prevention.
Direct Access Testing allows individuals who want more control of
their own health care the capability to have laboratory tests
performed without a physician order.
Direct Access Testing is ideal for those patients who do not have
healthcare insurance, or have high insurance deductibles and
co-pays.

Test Information
| Complete Blood Count (Hemogram): |
The CBC is an automated count of the cells in the blood.
The results can provide information about the number
of cell types, the size, shape, and physical characteristics
of the cells.
The CBC is used as a broad screening test to check for
disorders like anemia, infection, and many other diseases. |
|
Hemoglobin (Hgb) |
The hemoglobin measures the amount of oxygen-carrying
protein in the blood.
This may be used to check for anemia, fluid loss, and
dehydration, among other diseases. |
|
Sedimentation Rate (ESR) |
The Sed Rate measures the degree of inflammation in the
body. It is used
to help detect conditions associated with acute and chronic
inflammation. |
|
Protime/INR (PT) |
The protime measures how long it takes for a clot to form in
a sample of blood.
This is used to help detect clotting and bleeding
disorders. |
|
Blood
Type (ABO and Rh) |
Blood typing is used to determine your blood group and what
type of blood or blood components you can safely receive. |
|
Urinalysis (UA) |
A urinalysis is a group of tests that detect the byproducts
of metabolism, cells, and bacteria.
It is used as a screening for different metabolic and
kidney disorders. |
|
Pregnancy Screen Test |
This test is used to determine if a female is pregnant.
It may be performed on blood or urine. |
| Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP): |
The CMP is performed to identify the status of a patient’s
kidneys, liver, blood sugar, electrolyte and acid-base
balance. |
|
Potassium (K) |
Potassium works to regulate the amount of fluid in the body,
stimulate muscle contraction, and maintain acid-base
balance. |
|
AST (SGOT) |
This enzyme is used in the heart, liver, kidneys, and muscles. It is used with the ALT to detect liver damage. |
|
|
This enzyme is found in the liver and kidney.
It is used with the AST to detect liver injury. |
|
LIPID
Profile (Fasting) |
This test includes cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, and LDL.
This is used to determine your risk of heart disease. |
|
Glucose (Fasting) |
Glucose is a simple sugar in the blood used to detect
diabetes. |
|
Glycosylated Hemoglobin (A1C) |
The A1C evaluates the average amount of glucose
in the blood over the last 2 to 3 months.
It is used to measure compliance in diabetics. |
|
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) |
This protein is produced by the prostate gland in males.
This test is used as a screen for prostate cancer and
to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for those
diagnosed with prostate cancer. |
|
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) |
The TSH test is used to control the rate at which the body
uses energy. |
|
Infuenza A & B |
This test will test for the 2 most common flu viruses. |
|
Strep Test |
This test is utilized with patients who have a sore throat.
It will detect Group A Strep, also known as Strep
Throat. |
|
Other Tests |
Other testing available per the patient’s request. |
