At DPC, we recognize that traditional healthcare often offers limited testing options. Your Care Team, equipped with a deep understanding of your health, will recommend advanced specialty tests tailored to uncover the root causes of your symptoms. This comprehensive approach helps them design a holistic health plan customized to your individual needs and goals.
During your initial visit, you and your doctor will discuss your health goals and review appropriate testing options, which may include a combination of blood work and advanced specialty testing. It’s advisable to complete any recommended blood work at least two weeks prior to your follow-up visit to ensure the results are available for discussion.
For any queries about the testing process or specific recommendations from your doctor, please contact your care manager via your My Health portal.
For patients enrolled in our weight management program, the following baseline lab work is required:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
- Lipid Profile (Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL)
- Thyroid Panel (TSH, Free T4, Free T3)
- Insulin Level
Please note that the cost of these lab tests is not included in the monthly subscription fee and will be billed additionally. Bloodwork can be done at any LabCorp location closest to you.
All testing is conducted at an additional cost, not covered under your DPC membership. Based on your initial consultation, your doctor will suggest a personalized testing plan, considering your health history, current concerns, and goals.
You can complete your testing at any lab within the networks of LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics, which are widely available across the US.
We automatically receive the results when they are ready from the labs.
Testing orders, including blood work and specialty tests, are only placed after establishing care with your DPC doctor. Testing should not be ordered or completed before your initial consultation. Your doctor will recommend when to undertake these tests, usually during follow-up visits, based on your ongoing progress and health goals.
Most blood work results are returned within 10-14 business days, although timing for specialty tests may vary. Please consider this timeline when scheduling follow-up appointments to avoid the need for rescheduling. Results from any lab tests ordered by your clinician are automatically sent to us via our secure online portal.
If you opt to do blood work through your primary care provider (PCP), you can directly upload these results to My Health portal or ask your medical team to request them from your PCP’s office.
