Alrighty so, I'm heading for a pap smear this Friday; it's my LAST required appointment, before my PCC sends everything to my insurance. Can anyone give me an idea of how long it will take the gyno's office to have results to send?? I don't want to go Friday, then on Tuesday I'm already bothering Brenda -my patient care coordinator, lol.

Why the Gyno visit? What requirement are you having to meet or be cleared for?

Well it all depends on the lab they send it out. Usually it takes up to a week to get results back because the tests they send go out and see what grows basically. Why would you have to go into your OB twice with them doing the smear on Friday and going back in on Tuesday? Most times they send all the lab results to your PCP then your PCP can send over the info to the insurance company. In most cases, from knowledge and experience, most OB's don't have you come in to go over results unless its something to be concerned with majorly. Sometimes they just give you a call and tell you everything is fine or you need to go on an antibiotic to cure an infection, something like that.
