Most procedures performed at Student Health Services are completed within 20 to 30 minutes or less. However the time it takes for a provider to discuss them with the student may take longer. Most reference laboratory tests (send out tests) are back in 1 to 3 days but may take longer depending on the procedures. X-rays are usually read by a Student Health Services provider at time of service but the final reading by the radiologist may take 24 to 48 hours.
Copies of laboratory and x-ray reports and actual copies of x-rays (on CD) can be made and released with proper consent of the patient. Copies of x-rays on CD do incur a charge.
Orders for lab work or x-rays can be brought in or faxed to Student Health Services as long as it meet our requirements (it is ordered by a licensed health care provider on letterhead or prescription with all necessary information relevant to procedure).
