Preventive Health Services in Kansas City

Catch Health Risks Before They Grow. Protect Yourself & Your Workforce.

Much like maintaining a car before it breaks down, preventive healthcare is about acting before symptoms arise. While you might feel perfectly fine today, silent health risks—like high blood pressure or high cholesterol—can still be taking root.

That’s why Test Smartly Labs offers a broad range of preventive health screenings, available to individuals and employers alike, either at our Kansas City labs or through our on-site/mobile workplace programs.

We make it easier than ever to stay on top of your health—or help your employees do the same.

 

What Are Preventive Health Services?

Preventive health services are routine tests and screenings designed to detect illnesses or risk factors before symptoms appear. They aim to:

• Prevent the onset of chronic conditions

• Detect early signs of disease (e.g., cancer, diabetes, heart disease)

• Provide actionable insight into lifestyle changes

• Help reduce long-term healthcare costs

Following the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, more attention has been placed on preventive services for all age groups. While we don’t perform all 63 ACA-recommended screenings, Test Smartly Labs offers many of the most common and impactful tests.

What to Expect: Preparing for Your Test

To ensure your preventive screening is successful:

• Fasting: Fast 10–12 hours before most blood tests (especially for glucose, cholesterol, and lipid panels)

• Hydration: Drink water beforehand to assist in blood draw

• Forms: Complete the TSL Intake Form and HIPAA Disclosure

• Payment: Pay for your test on-site (we provide a receipt for self-submitted insurance claims; we do not bill insurance directly)

• Timing: Please arrive at least 30 minutes before closing to allow time for your sample to be processed for same-day shipping to our partner labs

If you’re coming in for a specialized panel, call ahead so we can advise you on any specific preparation steps.

Do We Need To Have An Appointment?

No appointment is required to come into our labs, and all of our locations are on a walk-in basis. However, it is recommended you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to closing. If your situation requires special time considerations, please call us to determine if it would be better to arrange an appointment time.

Do I Need Doctors’ Orders For Testing?

No doctors’ orders needed, we are a Direct-Access Testing Center. You are encouraged to consult your medical professional with your lab test results.

What’s The Turnaround Time For Lab Work?

Average turnaround time is 2-5 business days depending on the complexity of the lab work. Most tests are available in 2-3 days.

Do You Need A List Of My Medications For A Drug Test?

Per protocol, the lab techs are not allowed to receive or ask for your medications. A medical review officer or MRO, a licensed physician who specializes in toxicology, will call you and ask for your medications and your physician’s phone number if it’s detected in your sample during testing. The MRO will then call your physician to verify your medications.
