Some specialists, pathology providers and imaging centres may have their own requirements, so it is worth checking with your chosen provider.
Receiving Your Test Results
For pathology and radiology referrals, results are usually sent back to the referring doctor once completed by the lab or imaging provider.
If your results are sent to Doctor Help, a doctor will review them and you will be notified by email once they are received. If follow-up is needed, we will let you know the next steps.
