^^I’m not talking about my doctor posting results, I’m talking about me looking up the results on the lab app/website.
In the case of the 330 cholesterol, I told the doctor the next time I saw her, and she said that’s why we do follow up appointments, because things fall through the cracks, because we are so busy here. Mind you she NEVER gave me the result, I told her. Then, she wrote me blood work that I requested and asked if I wanted to set up an appointment in two months. I asked why two months, and she said because that’s when Medicare will pay, every two months. That annoyed me ten different ways. First, if I go to the lab tomorrow, I find it unacceptable to wait two months for my results, and you can be sure my cholesterol did not drop 130 points to normal level, plus I would want to know a particular test was normal that we were testing. Plus, the indication was Medicare will pay every two months, so we will have you come in every two months. Chaching $$$. I pointed out I am not a Medicare patient.
I had one doctor who I used to go to their patient portal, I don’t remember her posting notes, but maybe my memory is bad. If I check through the Quest app it all gets compiled together no matter what doctor. If my endocrinologist checks my red blood cell count, and then my cardiologist does it a month later, I see all of it in one place.
Doesn’t matter anyway. A doctor is not supposed to rely on a patient logging into a website if something needs to be addressed. Not everyone uses the Internet.
