Your patients review their test results and biomarkers using our online system.

• Within a few business days following the collection of their blood (specimen), your patient will receive an email notification that their results are available (occasionally, complex tests may take between 7-10 business days for results).
• Your patient’s results will be uploaded into their private and secure healthcare dashboard.
• The patient will log in and view intuitive charts that display their data, along with detailed explanations of their biomarkers to assist them in understanding their results.
• Easy to read PDF's of the tests results are also available to print and share with their Pharmacist, Physician or other healthcare provider.

Your patients’ personalized health dashboard makes it easy for them to view diagnostic changes that occur between their blood tests, allowing them to adjust their wellness plan for even better health. Their practitioner can review their unique biomarkers, and discuss personalized recommendations tailored to their specific needs and goals.

You can encourage your patients to track their progress, consult with their physician or healthcare provider and retest as directed.

• We recommend that your patient share and review their results with their Physician and healthcare providers.
• It's up to the patient whether they share their test results.

No. Your patient does not need to see a Physician to get a lab test through your pharmacy or to order directly through your microsite provided by Ulta Lab Tests. We enable your patients to directly order lab tests through your pharmacy and microsite, using the same testing labs as healthcare providers and hospitals, which are CLIA certified and regulated by governmental agencies. We help your patients save time and money and they get their lab results that they can share with their pharmacy, doctor or healthcare provider.

Charges from Ulta Lab Tests may not be submitted for reimbursement from any insurance or other health care benefit program or payor. This prohibition applies whether the insurance program is private (such as Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Health Care, etc.) or public (such as Medicare or Medicaid or any other state or federally funded health plan or program).

No. We have negotiated discounted cash prices with national laboratories; therefore, direct access lab testing cannot be submitted to Medicare or Medicaid. Medicare often covers lab-testing services; however, if Medicare declares that a lab test is not "medically necessary" or that it exceeds an annual limit (is being taken too often), your patient still has the option to order their medical lab tests from Ulta Lab Tests. Your patient will have to pay for their lab work in advance, and Medicare will not reimburse them for the testing; however, by having Ulta Lab Tests perform the testing, seniors will save valuable dollars.

• We have affiliated with pharmacies like yours to extend our national pricing and platform into their practice so that their patients can benefit by the cost savings of our program.
• We purchase on extremely high testing volumes for patients across the United States, which allows us to offer discount pricing with our lab partners.

Securing advance payment from your patients enables us to secure exceptionally low prices from the national laboratories and then pass these savings directly on to your patients.

Most of the individual lab tests offered require no preparation. However, many of our health and wellness panels do require fasting. If there are special requirements prior to testing, (i.e. such as fasting for up to 12 hours), your patient will be notified in the Patient Instructions that are attached with the patient’s PSC Lab Test Requisition.
