WHAT HAPPENS IF THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT OBTAIN YOUR SAMPLE?
When we're scheduling a service, we ask for good communication from the patient or POC in notifying us of whether or not the patient is a "hard stick" so that we can dispatch a technician with the skills needed to complete the job the first time.
In the rare circumstance that the sample could not be collected by the technician, we will call the patient and reschedule for the next available date, and we will dispatch a senior member of the team to come to your home.
The patient will not be charged for the missed visit; we will only charge once the sample is collected and taken to the laboratory for testing.
