I'm in monitoring, and I had a random Peth test Monday Feb 6th. It's is now Tuesday the 14th and I still don't have a charge to my credit card or results. How long does it take to get result back for a blood test?

Mine usually take a week to 10 days. But the fact that you don't have a charge on your credit card is scary.

It has usually taken people 7-14 days to get a result.  I'm not sure why it's so slow.  Routine or back test might make a difference.

how long have you been in monitoring and how many Peth tests have you gotten so far?

you know what's sad, that nursing boards use random Peth tests.   I've seen in dental and other monitoring agencies, that Peth is used as a confirmation test if a urine etg is positive.   What would be the confirmation test for a positive Peth?
