Riverview Medical Associates maintains C.L.I.A. approved Physician Owned Laboratory
at our Holmdel office. Dr. Anthony DeNoia is our
laboratory director. We
have met all state and national standards necessary
to provide this service to Medicare recipients and others.
Please note that the laboratory rules for the state
of New Jersey and nationally require that we may only
do laboratory work ordered by Riverview Medical Associates
physicians on patients of Riverview Medical Associates.
We are sorry that we are unable to perform laboratory
studies ordered by other physicians except in very unusual
circumstances where there is co-management of the patient
with a Riverview Medical Associates physician.
Unfortunately, many insurance companies will contract
with an outside reference laboratory and require that
individuals have their laboratory studies done at these
facilities. Below is a list of those insurance plans
that prohibit us from performing laboratory studies;
AMERIHEALTH HMO, HORIZON BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD, INDEPENDENCE
BLUE CROSS KEYSTONE, LAB ONE, PENNSYLVANIA BLUE CROSS,
PRUDENTIAL, QUALCARE HMO.
Laboratory services are an integral part of the practice
of internal medicine and its sub-specialties. We provide
standard testing of cholesterol, lipid studies, prostate
specific antigen testing, thyroid studies, liver and
kidney function analysis and complete blood count analysis.
We can also test for various inflammatory processes
such as rheumatoid arthritis and other connective tissue
diseases. We perform rapid turnaround time prothrombin
times for the management of patients on anticoagulation
with Coumadin (Warfarin).
It is our policy to promptly notify patients of the
results of their laboratory tests either by telephone
or by written communication. Some of the doctors may
also be able to fax or email results if requested by
individual patients. Laboratory information is used
in treatment and monitoring of various different disease
states and in the primary prevention of multiple disorders.
Cholesterol screening, prostate screening, and screening
for diabetes can all be powerful aids to the physician
in providing guidance in regards to risk factor reduction
for various disease states.
If you have questions in regards to our laboratory
services, please contact Dr. Anthony DeNoia by mail
at 71 E. Main Street, Holmdel, N.J. 07733 or email Dr.
Drout at info@rmadoctors.com.
