Getting quality health care means taking an active role in all aspects of your care, including medical tests and procedures.
Clinicians order blood tests, x-rays, and other tests to help identify medical problems.
Not sure why a test was ordered or how it will help you? Ask your provider:
If your health care provider orders a test, get the results. Don't assume the results are fine if you do not get them when expected.
Call your health care provider and ask for your results. Ask what the results mean for your care, and use that information to talk with your provider and make decisions about your care.
