Vicki, we do have a phlebotomy station in the building.

Reviewing all your answers, I think for me it would be a wash which way I go. I can 1) put in the time to review the chart ahead of time, order labs ahead and review at the visit, or continue with 2) don't review the chart ahead thereby not wasting time on no-shows, order lab at the visit, then spend the extra time to send a good explanation with a lab copy via UpDox the next day, and have occasional surprises that need a repeat visit.

And Mike, you are spot on on the refill issue.
