Green St., McHenry, is returning to the house call, in a manner of speaking. A new service offered by the lab involves a visit to the patient's home for the collection of a specimen or an electrocardiogram (ECG). There is a charge for the service. Anna Welder, chief technician, said the actual testing of the specimens would still be conducted at the laboratory, in the Northern Illinois Medical Associates building. The results of the tests would be made available only to the patient's physician, usually on the same day. Ms. Welder explained that there is no limitation as to the need for the in- home service. Those who are homebound for medical reasons, those who do not have readily- available transportation, those who do not have a baby-sitter available -- in short, those who just have a tough time getting to the lab, are all eligible for the service. "In the past, we have ac­ commodated these patients, but on a very limited basis," Ms. Welder said. "It's not very common for a lab to provide this kind of service." She emphasized that experienced laboratory personnel would be sent to collect the required specimens for testing. Ms. Welder noted that the lab tests must be ordered by a physician. The lab -- a licensed, independent facility -- will conduct tests for a patient's physician, whether that physician works in the McHenry area or not. "Even if a patient's physician is in Chicago or Rockford, the lab work can still be done here," she said. "All we need is a physician's order to identify the test and a phone call here to schedule the visit." For more information call (815) 344- 1600.
