In New York, the results of STD testing is not allowed to be given over the phone. This requires an office visit. Often there are no symptoms prior to the test, just someone indicating MULTIPLE partners and a concern. When they return any suggestions on a chief complaint. In a chart review we were told "fu lab results" does not establish medical necessity, as "that's a phone call". I was thinking fu abnormal test results". Any suggestions?
