Results Policy
Most medical tests necessitate a subsequent booking for result discussions with your Doctor .
When your GP anticipates normal test results and they do turn out unremarkable, you could receive a ‘Hotdoc’ text message indicating normal results without specific result details sent electronically .
Avoid assuming ‘no news is good news’ post any medical test.
The best approach is for both doctor and patient to confirm the successful completion of tests and receipt of results, facilitating joint planning of optimal medical management.
Occasionally, if a brief follow-up appointment solely covers result outcomes, your doctor might consider a consultation fee discount.
