How long will it take to get results?
Results are sent to BLTN from each of the labs performing the tests. We send those results to patients as soon as we get them, usually the same day. For LRA and Clifford Tests, the results are issued 7-10 business days from day sample is submitted.
Are the tests covered by insurance?
BLTN is a direct online access lab and because there is no health care provider, ordering the test insurance will not pay for these tests.
Can I draw my own blood or have a friend draw it?
No! Under no circumstances should any person attempt to draw their own blood. Blood draws can only be performed by certified phlebotomists or physicians who are qualified to draw blood. Better Lab Tests Now will assume no responsibility for any person who attempts to perform procedures they are not qualified to perform.
How do I prepare for LRA testing?
There are several simple, but critical steps to ensure you get the most accurate LRA test results. You must fast prior to your blood draw, consuming only spring or distilled water during the 12 hours prior to your blood draw. Seeherefor additional important preparation instructions.Contact ELISA/ACT® Biotechnologiesfor any questions about the preparation instructions. Your blood will not be drawn for this test if you have not followed the preparation instructions.
How is the LRA by ELISA/ACT testing done?
LRA by ELISA/ACT testing is a cell culture done on a sample of whole blood. The serum is separated and incubated together with purified antigens. The reaction is then read to determine reactivity of your lymphocytes against the antigens. Each antigen is tested separately to determine precisely to which items your body is reacting.
