LABORATORY

WHAT WE OFFER:

ACHC is a CLIA certified laboratory, which means that we are certified by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to collect and process human samples for diagnostic testing!!”

  • Providers that work for ACHC can order: 
    • DOT Urine tests
    • Urine Tests
    • Drug testing
    • Blood tests or swabs that can test for: 
      • Diabetic screenings
      • Infections
      • Respiratory infections
      • Strep throat
      • Flu
      • COVID
      • Plus, many other medical diagnoses 
  • Outside Providers can order:
    • Patients needing labs ordered by a Provider outside of ACHC may also be collected. These tests will be collected at ACHC and sent for processing to an outside laboratory. The outside lab will process and forward the results to the ordering Provider(s). The good news, especially if your tests require you to be fasting or your funds are low is you may have your labs taken care of close to home.
    • All blood and urine tests that our providers do that work at ACHC, can also be performed for providers that do not work at ACHC. The only difference is that all labs that are ordered by non-employees of ACHC are collected here at ACHC but sent out to be processed by an outside lab. The outside lab then sends the results to the ordering physician. The good news is that you do not have to travel to get your laboratory needs taken care of. 
      • All orders must come with an order which can be faxed or brought with you the day of your appointment. 
      • All patients must have an order in hand day of appointment or faxed to ACHC prior to appointment. This will keep patients from waiting or having to comeback on another day.
  • Allergy shots 
    • We can administer allergy shots from outside providers, but again we must have an order and the medication. 

Please remember that you must call the clinic at (208) 253-4242 and get an appointment for laboratory appointments.

Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.  

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. A Good Faith Estimate shows the cost of items and services that are reasonably expected based on your healthcare needs at the Adams County Health Center. This estimate is based on our understanding of your needs for that visit. 

While caring for you, our providers may recommend additional services not listed here, or unknown or unexpected costs may arise during your service. Because of this, your final charges may differ from the estimate set forth in this document. Additionally, you may be billed from other third parties for services such as lab tests or other diagnostics that are sent out of our clinic.

The Adams County Health Center offers sliding discounts based on your income and the number of people in your household.  ACHC staff will help you determine which payment group you belong to.  

Make sure you receive your Good Faith Estimate from the ACHC in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask ACHC staff, including your health care provider, or any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. 

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. 

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. You may need it if you are billed a higher amount.  

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate,  visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (208) 879-4351.

DIABETES CARE

ALL THINGS DIABETES
Type 1 Diabetes

Did you know that over 90% of people diagnosed with type 1 diabetes don’t have a family connection? Type 1 diabetes is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can strike both children and adults. A simple screening test can help families determine, before symptoms even occur, if they may be at risk. Because most people do not have a family history of type 1 diabetes, symptoms and a diagnosis often come out of the blue. And because families don’t know what to look for, many people require hospitalization at diagnosis because their blood sugars are very high and the person is very sick. If not treated properly, people with T1D are vulnerable to health issues ranging from minor to severe. Most people with T1D spend the majority of their time with blood glucose levels outside the recommended healthy range, which can lead to potentially deadly episodes of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Chronic high blood sugar often causes devastating health complications later in life, including blindness, kidney failure, heart disease and nerve damage that can lead to amputations.

T1D FREE Screening Days at ACHC. Just call 208-253-4242 to s
