Why can't test results be given directly to the patient?

As specified in 10 NYCRR Subpart 58-1.8, laboratory results may only be given to a physician, his or her agent, or other person authorized by law to use the results in the conduct of his or her practice or the fulfillment of official duties. The majority of laboratory test results must be placed in the context of the patient's condition, medical history and symptoms, by a trained professional. While many patients have the knowledge, experience and good judgment to properly evaluate test results, the data may cause some patients unnecessary confusion, anxiety and sometimes, alarm. Laboratories are required to release test results to the physician ordering the tests so that a full explanation may be provided at the time that the patient receives the test results. Results may be issued to patients with the written consent of the physician or other authorized person. The exception to the regulation is: results for blood type and Rh type. Results from these tests may be provided in writing to the individual whose blood was tested without consent of the physician.
