physician can order any lab test we perform.

A: Yes, we do urine drug testing.
Q: Do I need to be fasting before my blood is drawn?

Q: How long does it take to complete my blood tests?
A: That depends upon the test. Most test results are available in 1-3 days. Some
tests may take longer.
Q: Where are lab tests done?
A: The majority of the testing is done in our lab in Carson City. Less commonly
ordered tests are sent to reference laboratories. Unlike the big labs that send
almost all of their work out of the local area, we do the work locally. We hire
Nevada people to keep the jobs in Nevada.
Q: How can you keep your costs so low?
A: Cash Clinical does not deal with private insurance companies or government
insurance plans (i.e., Medicare or Medicaid). Insurance companies make a big
profit by paying doctors and labs much less (as much as 70% less) than the usual
price charged to patients without insurance. By eliminating the “middle man”
(insurance), and the costs of billing and rebilling insurance companies, we can
pass the savings on to you, the customer.
Q: Do you send bills to patients?
A: No. In order to keep costs down, we accept payment at the time of service by either cash, check, debit or credit cards. We do not do any billing.
Q: Can I bill my insurance company myself for lab tests done at Cash Clinical?
A: It is our policy to give you a receipt with the information you will need to send a bill to your insurance company. However, your insurance company may, or may not, reimburse you for all or part of the costs of your lab work, depending on your
insurance policy and the tests performed.
Q: Will someone at Cash Clinical help me understand my lab test results?
A: No. Your lab results are best interpreted by your personal physician who is
familiar with your health issues, the medications you take and other information
that is necessary to evaluate your test results. Click here for an independent, non-
biased website that may help you understand your lab test results. This is not a substitute for discussing the test results with your physician.
