Commonly Asked Lab Work Questions
Why can't I get Qualifying Labs done in my Physicians Office or at a different Lab?
A special process is needed in order for the Lab Work Results to be combined properly with the Blueprint Health Questionnaire. Therefore, only trained designated sites can conduct the Lab Work.
OTHER LAB WORK: Can I get other Lab Work done at the same time as my qualifying labs?
Yes. Additional Labs can be drawn at a Quest PSC, but we do not recommend it due to potential for error. If your Physician needs additional labs you will need a lab slip from your physician.
What does my Qualifying Lab Work Include?
The Manatee YourChoice Health Plan Blueprint FASTING Lab Work includes:
· CBC

Do I need to FAST before my lab draw?
Yes. DRINK only WATER. Do not eat or drink anything EXCEPT WATER for at least 9 hours prior to your lab draw appointment.
