How a page is written and kept current
- We start with the question. Each page answers questions patients ask about a test, a result or a price.
- We read the primary sources. Clinical practice guidelines, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, federal health agencies and peer-reviewed studies. Guide pages list their sources with links, and the biomarker library names the guideline behind each marker.
- We keep it current. Medical pages are reviewed at least once a year, and sooner when a guideline or a price changes. The next scheduled review is October 2027.
Sources we use
Among others: the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association, KDIGO (kidney disease), the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health (MedlinePlus, NIDDK and the Office of Dietary Supplements), the American Gastroenterological Association, the American Urological Association, the American College of Rheumatology, the Endocrine Society and the World Health Organization.
What these pages can and can't do
Blood Work pages explain tests, results and prices in general terms. They aren't medical advice about your own health, and a result outside the range is a reason to look closer, not a diagnosis. A Passion Health clinician reviews every order and every result and tells you what yours means. In an emergency, call 911.
No ads, no sponsored content, no testimonials
Blood Work pages carry no third-party advertising and no sponsored content, and they don't use advertising pixels. Passion Health accepts no referral fees, rebates or other payments from CPL or any laboratory (see Texas law and compliance). We don't publish patient testimonials on Blood Work pages; Texas law treats a testimonial in health care advertising as misleading (Tex. Occ. Code §101.201).
Prices
The prices on these pages are our self-pay prices and include the blood draw and a clinician's review. If a price is ever shown wrongly because of a typing or system error, we tell you the correct price before your order is accepted, and you decide whether to go ahead (Terms, section 8).
Corrections
If something on a Blood Work page looks wrong or out of date, call 214-666-6259 or email appointments@passionhealthphysicians.com. We check it against the source and correct the page, and the page shows the date it was last updated.
