ONCOLOGY BLOOD TESTING FOR NEXUS HEALTH

How does blood testing before treatment work now?

As we transition from NMCCA to Nexus Health, it will be required for blood draw testing to be scheduled one day prior to your office visit with your provider.

We are currently undergoing renovations at our new building site. For the time being, patients needing blood tests must have their blood drawn the day prior to their appointment with us at Nexus Health. As of February 2023, patients will be able to have their labs drawn at the Nexus Health facility with TriCore Reference laboratory. We will be partnering with TriCore for in-clinic lab draws as well as a direct interface of results into your patient records.

If you choose a different lab provider, please alert our scheduling staff so that it can be noted in your chart where we can obtain your lab testing results.

How do I schedule a TriCore appointment for blood testing?
Nexus Health is determined to make this process as easy as possible for you, so our team is here to help you book your appointments. Just let us know what time and day works best for your schedule.

If you prefer to schedule your appointment with TriCore on your own or have your labs drawn with a different lab provider, we ask that you let us know so we can ensure that we obtain your results prior to your appointment with the provider. You may do so through the TriCore app or online.

See below to find the TriCore location closest to you and to book your appointment.
