Learn more about your health
As part of Gothenburg Health's focus on improving our service area's health and wellness, we're now offering Direct Access Testing (DAT). Individuals can come to the laboratory and diagnostic imaging department and receive wellness screenings for certain tests, without a written physician's order. Screenings available through Direct Access Testing allow you to manage your health.
DAT eliminates the need for a doctor’s order for certain lab tests. Patients who are uninsured, have a health savings account, have a high deductible, or who don’t want to file a claim to their insurance may request the tests they need at a low out-of-pocket cash price.
Quick, easy and convenient
Direct Access Testing is not meant as a substitute for regular medical care; it is a quick, easy, and convenient way for people to receive health info.
- A physician's order is not required for these tests.
- The customer, if 19 or older, or parent/legal guardian for those under 18, consent to take responsibility for the follow up of abnormal test results.
- **Note that payment in cash or check must be received at the time of service; insurance will not be billed.**
- DAT allows patients autonomy in their health decisions, the Gothenburg Health medical community is still available to assist with interpreting results when needed.
