Not everyone needs labs. Whether you do depends on your health intake and your clinician's judgment — some patients are asked to complete lab work before their first prescription, and others may be asked later to keep treatment on track.
Why labs help
They give your clinician an objective look at your health before and during treatment.
They inform safe dosing decisions and catch anything that needs attention early.
What's typically requested
If labs are needed, your clinician will typically request A1C, TSH, CMP, and a lipid panel. Recent outside results may be acceptable if they're from the last 6 months.
If your clinician orders labs, Jive Health covers the cost — you'll be notified in your patient portal with exactly what to do next.
If you're asked to complete labs, your patient portal will have the details — and your clinician can answer any questions during a visit.
