Q and A
How do I use the Preferred Patient Program?
-
When your physician decides that testing is needed, request to use
the Boyce and Bynum Preferred Patient Program, and a written order for
lab testing. Your physician's written order can be on a prescription pad,
a Boyce and Bynum requisition, or another lab's requisition, and should
include your physician's contact information and the specific tests needed.
-
Visit a Boyce and Bynum Patient Service Center for your specimen collection.
Phone our Client Services personnel at 1-800-786-4602 or visit
Our Locations for contact
information and directions. An appointment is not required at most locations.
At the Patient Service Center, present your physician's written order and
request participation in the Preferred Patient Program. At that time, a staff
member will determine the discounted price, collect payment and provide a detailed
receipt. Specimens are then collected by a trained medical professional and sent to
our laboratory for testing.

Following thorough laboratory analysis, your test results are sent to your
physician's office within 24-48 hours. Contact your referring physician for
test results.
