Do doctors read MyChart messages? ›

Understanding MyChart messaging

Multiple members of your care team may view MyChart messages in order to get an appropriate and efficient response; this may include nurses or advance practice clinicians other than your primary care provider (PCP).

Some test results are not released to your MyChart account because of their sensitive nature. Your doctor determines which types of test results are able to be accessed through MyChart and which might require an in person conversation.

Results will be in your medical record, sent to your doctor, and available for you in MyChart on the day the pathologist completes the report.

The example CBC below shows that white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets are all low. CBC WITH DIFFERENTIAL.

Getting your blood test results

You may get your blood test results after a few days, and usually within a few weeks. If you do not hear anything after a few weeks, contact the GP surgery or specialist. The GP, nurse, or specialist should talk to you about your results and explain what happens next.

Thus, scheduling a follow-up appointment to discuss the results and next steps is a good way to allow adequate time for discussion. If a normal or negative test result comes back, the physician can telephone the patient with the “good news,” and patients have the option of canceling the follow-up appointment.

Do bad biopsy results come back quicker? ›

If I have cancer will my biopsy results come back faster? No. How long you have to wait does not reflect what the result will be. The speed at which it's done only reflects the process within a particular clinic.

Why don't I see all of my lab results in MyChart? Your lab results for most tests are automatically released same day. There are some results that are exceptions and your provider will contact you outside of MyChart with those results.
