What happens after your provider orders a medical test for you?
Medical tests can help detect a condition, determine a diagnosis, check to see if treatment is working, or monitor a condition over time.
These tests will be listed in your After Visit Summary and in MyChart. Although result timing varies, U.S. law requires that medical results are sent to patients as soon as they are available. You might even receive them through MyChart before your next visit with your provider!
Schedule your blood work in MyChart or call 775-982-5000 to schedule an imaging test with Renown X-Ray & Imaging.
